DREAM EXTREME,
REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: THOMAS P. EVANS
INTERIM CITY MANAGER
DATE: NOVEMBER 13, 2012
SUBJECT: REINSTATEMENT OF NOVEMBER 27,
COUNCIL MEETING
Recommendation
2012 REGULAR CITY
That the City Council provisionally reinstate the regular City Council meeting on
November 27, 2012 and authorize the Mayor to cancel the meeting if the Registrar of
Voters has not certified the elections results prior to this meeting date.
Background
While the unofficial results of the November 6, 2012 election have been posted online
by the Registrar of Voters, the election result are not expected to be formally certified by
the Registrar until November 19, 2012. Following the official certification by the
Registrar, the City is required by the Elections Code to swear in and seat the recently
elected officials at the next meeting of the City Council.
On June 26, 2012, the City Council opted to cancel certain regular City Council
meetings for the remainder of 2012 due to various holidays and the additional costs
related to holding meetings at the offices of EVMWD during the retrofit of the Cultural
Center. The November 27, 2012 regular City Council meeting was one of the meetings
cancelled.
Staff is requesting that the City Council consider reinstating the November 27, 2012
meeting solely for the purpose of certifying the election results and swearing in our
newly elected City officials.
Discussion
In light of the availability of the Cultural Center through the end of November, and the
need to formally certify the election results and swear in four officials (three Council

Members and the City Treasurer), staff is requesting the City Council consider
reinstating the November 27, 2012 regular City Council meeting for this purpose.
Because the Registrar of Voters legally has until November 30, 2012 to certify the
election, staff further requests that the Mayor be authorized to cancel the November
27th meeting in the unlikely event that the Registrar has not certified the election prior to
that meeting.
Fiscal Impact
None. The meeting will be held the Cultural Center at no additional cost.
