CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />STAFF REPORT <br />DATE: March 15, 2010 <br />TO: Stephen Hollister, City Manager <br />FROM: Marian Handa, City Clerk <br />SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: <br />APPROVED AND <br />FORWARDED <br />TO CITY COUNCIL <br />Stephen L. Hollister <br />City Manager <br />ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE CONDUCT OF THE 2010 GENERAL MUNICIPAL <br />ELECTION USING RANKED CHOICE VOTING (RCV) <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />The San Leandro City Charter allows the City Council, by ordinance, to provide for the method <br />of conducting municipal elections. Staff recommends adoption of the proposed ordinance, to <br />authorize the conduct of the November 2, 2010 General Municipal Election using Ranked Choice <br />Voting (RCV). <br />BACKGROUND <br />At its January 19, 2010 meeting, the City Council voted to use RCV to conduct the 2010 General <br />Municipal Election. RCV eliminates the need for a separate runoff election, and allows the City's <br />election to be held in November, when voter turnout is highest and election consolidation costs <br />are lowest. Pursuant to its January 19 decision, the Council, on February 1, 2010, adopted <br />Ordinance 2010-002, changing the General Municipal Election date from June to November of <br />even-numbered years. Staff has performed public notification of the election date change, as <br />required by the ordinance. <br />Article VI, Section 610 of the Charter of the City of San Leandro states that the City Council, by <br />ordinance, may provide for the method of conducting municipal elections. The proposed <br />ordinance would provide for the use of RCV for the 2010 General Municipal Election, as well as <br />future City Council elections. <br />To conduct the November 2010 General Municipal Election, the Council must also adopt the <br />following documents: 1) a resolution calling the November 2010 election; 2) a resolution <br />establishing regulations for candidates; and 3) an ordinance establishing nomination procedures. <br />Staff will present these documents to the Council for adoption in June. <br />
