City of San Leandro <br />City Council <br />Meeting Date: December 12, 2022 <br />Agenda Number: 5.a. <br />Agenda Section: CERTIFICATE OF <br />ELECTION/OATH OF OFFICE TO NEW <br />MEMBERS <br />File Number: 22-721 <br />File Type: Staff Report <br />Staff Report for a City of San Leandro City Council Resolution Declaring the Results of the General <br />Municipal Election Held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022 <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />The City of San Leandro held its General Municipal Election on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. The <br />City’s election was consolidated with the Statewide General Election and was conducted by the <br />Alameda County Registrar of Voters (ROV). <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution declaring the results of the City of San <br />Leandro’s General Municipal Election for City Council Districts 1, 3, and 5, and Mayor. <br />BACKGROUND <br />On July 5, 2022, the San Leandro City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-112, calling its <br />General Municipal Election, to be held on November 8, 2022, and requesting that the Board of <br />Supervisors permit the consolidation of the City’s election with the Statewide General Election to <br />be held on the same date. <br />San Leandro’s City Charter requires election of candidates by a 50% plus one majority. Since <br />2010, San Leandro has used the Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) system. However, for the <br />November 8, 2022 election, the candidate for District 3 ran unopposed and there were only two <br />candidates for District 5 respectively, which eliminated the need for RCV for those two elections. <br />As required by the California Elections Code, an official canvass was performed by the ROV, and <br />a Statement of Election Results was submitted to the City. A resolution accepting the Statement <br />of Election Results and declaring the results of the election is provided for the City Council’s <br />adoption. <br />The following provides the results of the November 8, 2022 election: <br />District 1 - Celina Reynes, Councilmember, for a full term of four years from and after January 1, <br />2023, and until their successor is elected and qualified. <br />District 3 - Victor Aguilar, Jr., Councilmember, for a full term of four years from and after January <br />1, 2023, and until their successor is elected and qualified. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 12/9/2022
