Discussion
At the August 29, 2023, Special Meeting, the City Council directed the City Attorney’s Office, in
collaboration with the City Manager’s Office, to research and draft an ordinance that would
require a supermajority vote to amend certain provisions of the RSO/JCEO. During that
discussion, the City Council asked the Chief Assistant City Attorney whether the City Council could
also direct the City Attorney’s Office to research and prepare a ballot measure affirming the
RSO/JCEO for the November 2024 General Presidential Election. The Chief Assistant City Attorney
informed the City Council that a separate Council Requested Item would have to be agendized
before the City Council could give direction to staff regarding a ballot measure. This Council
Requested Item is being submitted to allow the City Council to discuss and provide staff with
direction relating to said ballot measure.
