She recalled that there have been <br />ballot measures, such as Measure B in 2006, on which the Council did not take a formal <br />position, because they did not meet the criteria in the guidelines. Councilmember <br />Starosciak asked if the policy is being set aside in order to consider a position on Prop <br />23 and Measure M. <br /> <br />Mr. Hollister confirmed that the Council adopted the guidelines in 2004, which, due to <br />an oversight by staff, were never incorporated into the Councilmembers Handbook. <br />City Clerk Marian Handa stated that there has been no formal process for updating the <br />Councilmembers Handbook, and so the guideline was never incorporated, and <br />forgotten. Mr. Hollister indicated that, as a result, it appears that the Council has been <br />inconsistent in its adherence to the guidelines, taking positions on some previous ballot <br />measures, but not others. <br /> <br />The Council discussed adherence to the existing guidelines; taking positions on the <br />proposed ballot measures; referring the guidelines to the City Council Rules and <br />Communications Committee for discussion; and the threat to AB 32 and SB 375, the <br />existing climate protection legislation. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Councilmember Prola, seconded by Councilmember Gregory, to <br />adopt the resolution opposing Proposition 23. <br /> <br />A friendly amendment was offered by Vice Mayor Reed, and accepted by <br />Councilmember Prola, the maker of the motion, to refer review of the Guidelines <br />Regarding Council Support for Ballot Measures to the City Council Rules and <br />Communications Committee. <br /> <br /> Minute Order No. 2010-035 <br />es Regarding <br /> <br />Communications Committee. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />M/S/C Prola and Gregory.
