BACKGROUND <br /> The City holds its General Municipal Election the first Tuesday after the first Monday in <br /> November in each even-numbered year for the purpose of electing municipal officers, a <br /> Mayor and two Councilmembers. Along with adopting the required resolution calling the <br /> November 3, 2020, election, staff recommends the Council request consent from the <br /> County of Alameda Board of Supervisors to consolidate with the Statewide General <br /> Election and for the Registrar of Voters to render specific services to the City related to <br /> the conduct of the election. <br /> State law also requires adoption of a resolution regulating candidates statements. The <br /> most current Resolution, adopted in 2018, requires minor revisions to reflect <br /> terminology changes in the Elections Code. <br /> Consistent with past elections and state law, candidates will pay a $25 filing fee and a <br /> $600 deposit for the optional candidates statements. The estimated cost associated <br /> with printing and translating the statement is $1,200. <br /> The nomination period for all offices opens Monday, July 13, 2020 and closes Friday, <br /> August 7, 2020, at 5 p.m. <br /> Submitted by: Fiscal Review: Approve by: <br /> /1,41/1— <br /> Karen Diaz Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> City Clerk Director of Finance City Manager <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1.
