<br />Exhibit B <br /> <br />Sec. 401. Qualifications of members. <br /> <br />To be eligible to be elected to the office of councilmember, a person must be a <br />qualified voter and a thirty (30) day resident of the ward from which the candidate is <br />nominated at the time nomination papers are issued as provided for in the Elections <br />Code of the State of California, except that the mayor need only be a registered voter <br />and thirty (30) day resident of the city at such time. In the event any councilmember <br />other than the mayor shall cease to be a resident of the ward from which the <br />councilmember (or, in the case of an appointee, the councilmember's predecessor) was <br />elected, or in the event the mayor shall cease to be a resident of the city, the office shall <br />immediately become vacant and shall be filled in the same manner as herein provided <br />for other vacancies; provided, that where a councilmember ceases to be a resident of <br />the ward from which the councilmember (or, in case of an appointee, the <br />councilmember's predecessor) was elected solely because of a change in boundaries <br />of any ward as in this charter provided, the councilmember shall not lose the office by <br />reason of such change. If a member of the city council shall be convicted of a crime <br />involving moral turpitude, the office shall immediately become vacant and be so <br />declared by the city council. <br /> <br />A person who has served h\'o (2) three (3) consecutive terms of four (4) years each <br />shall be eligible for appointment, nomination for or election to the office of <br />councilmember (regardless of wards represented by that person during such period) no <br />sooner than for a term beginning eight (8) years after completion of that <br />councilmember's second third consecutive full term. <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2007-057 Nunc Pro Tunc <br />Page 5 of 8 <br /> <br />
