available to conform with legislative change regarding AB2196. The bill moved up the

would cause the City's General Municipal Election, as it stands now, to be held three
weeks after that election. To avoid mass confusion and relieve the County of various
problems, the City Clerk presented three options for consideration. Option one: Hold
General Municipal Election as it is regularly held. Option two: Consolidate with the
County school board election, which would shorten certain Councilmember terms by five
months. and Option three: Change the Election date to the second Tuesday in March
of odd year. Many local cities have chosen the third option.
