Description
San Bruno City Council Meeting 12-01-09 4e. Fill Vacant City Council Seat.
A
And
one
more
very
important
item
item
II
received
report
to
determine
whether
to
fill
the
City
Council
vacancy
by
appointment
or
by
calling
for
a
special
election.
You
in
the
council
here
have
all
read
the
staff
report
and
out
our
November
10th
meeting
the
city
manager
explained
our
options
in
detail.
I'm
going
to
just
go
over
this
in
breathe.
This
election
leaves
one
vacant
council
seat.
This
happens
to
be
the
only
elected
mayor
in
San,
Mateo
County,
so
I
have
two
more
years
to
go
in
my
seat
is
open.
A
We
can
either
fill
the
vacancy
through
an
election
achievable
by
mail,
special
election
or
in
a
consolidated
election
or
agreed
to
appoint
the
next
council
member.
An
appointment
must
be
made
within
30
days
and
the
other
election
options
can
be
achieved.
It
cost
estimated
between
40,000
at
the
very
low
side
to
eighty-five
thousand
dollars
with
some
considerable
delay
in
getting
another
council
member
on
board.
I
would
ask
the
council
for
discussion
or
what
your
pleasure
is
through.
B
C
I
just
wanted
to
make
my
position
known.
This
is
something
I've
been
wrestling
with,
since
this
item
obviously
was
going
to
come
forward
after
the
election,
and
there
are
many
folks
that
have
different
seeing
of
opinion
that
is
important
to
have
the
people
decide
their
elected
body.
Our
history
has
shown
that
we
have
had
appointed.
We
also
as
a
council,
made
a
position
with
staff
and
the
citizens.
We
would
not
use
reserves,
that's
what
we
would
have
to
use
in
order
to
pay
for
this
election.
C
We
do
not
have
a
budgeted,
and
in
order
to
balance
the
budget,
we
would
have
to
go
somewhere
to
obtain
those.
As
we
made
that
commitment
we
balanced
the
budget,
we
asked
to
have
to
take
furloughs
I,
don't
find
a
prudent
or
wise
at
this
time
to
spend
up
toward
$80,000
when
we're
having
a
hard
time
balancing
the
budget
and
asking
have
to
take
a
reduction
and
have
little
resources
for
them
that
we
would
spend
those
type
of
refunds
in
order
to
have
a
special
election
within
the
next
couple
months.
D
A
We
will
appoint
having
agreed
on
that
in
preparation
for
either
decision.
I've
asked
the
city
manager
to
outline
a
preliminary
procedure
for
appointment.
This
has
to
be
aggressive
as
we
need
to
fill
the
seat
by
appointment
by
January.
First,
if
there's
no
additional
discussion
by
the
Council
of
instruct
staff
to
do
the
following
tomorrow
morning,
announcement
of
the
process
and
schedule
on
cable,
TV
city
website,
distribution
to
local
newspapers
online
and
through
the
City
Clerk's
office,
I
understand
as
a
conflict
on
December
14th.
If
is
that
15th?
Ok
with
everyone
too
well.
A
D
To
the
cherry,
yes,
it's
Mara,
the
the
schedule
calls
for
letters
of
interest
to
be
due
by
the
by
five
o'clock
on
the
fourteenth
and
then
on
this.
The
two
days
later,
the
16th
they'll
be
interviewing
and
17th.
We
will
have
a
special
meeting.
I
have
a
conflict
on
the
seventeenth
and
it
was
hoping
that
the
council
would
would
consider
moving
it
up
to
the
15th
16th.
That's
possible.
I
have.
A
No
problem
than
fine
anything,
ok,
so
will
be
the
15th
to
special
city
council
meeting
to
interview
the
applicants.
The
meeting
will
be
held
at
City
Hall,
I
believe,
and
we
will
we
will
record
it
on
the
16th
of
december
special
city
council
meeting
at
City
Hall
for
consideration
of
an
appointment
may.
