Brewer, City Attorney Celia A. Brewer, City Attorney Cindie K. McMahon, Assistant City Attorney Celia.Brewer@carlsbadca.gov or 760-434-2891 Request to Appoint Community Member to Fill the Upcoming City Council Vacancy and for Preparation of an Ordinance Amending Carlsbad Municipal Code Section 2.04.030 Recommended Action Consider Council Member Hamilton's request to fill the upcoming City Council vacancy (Gov. Code, §36512, subd. (e)) and for preparation of an ordinance amending Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) Section 2.04.030 to give the City Council the ability to fill a City Council vacancy by. both appointing an interim replacement and calling for a special election. Executive Summary Under CMC Section 1.20.060((), a City Council member may place an item on the City Council's agenda for the City Council's consideration. Council Member Hamilton has requested an item be placed on the City Council's Oct. 8, 2019 agenda for the City Council to have a discussion about filling the upcoming City Council vacancy and to consider the preparation of an ordinance amending CMC Section 2.04.030 to give the City Council the ability to fill a City Council vacancy by both appointing an interim replacement and calling for a special election (Exhibit 1). Discussion As explained in the City Council Vacancy Questions and Answers prepared by the City Attorney's Office (Exhibit 2), CMC Section 2.04.030 (Exhibit 3) currently permits the City Council to fill a City Council vacancy either by making an appointment or by calling a special election, but not by both actions. Council Member Hamilton would like the City Council to discuss the appointment of a community member to fill the upcoming City Council vacancy. She would also like the City Council to consider the preparation of an ordinance amending CMC Section 2.04.030 to give the City Council the ability to fill a City Council vacancy by both appointing an interim replacement and calling for a special election (Exhibit 1). Oct. 8, 2019 Item #8 Page 1 of 5 Fiscal Analysis Staff does not anticipate any fiscal impact from the discussion of filling the upcoming City Council vacancy or from the preparation, introduction, and adoption of an ordinance amending CMC Section 2.04.030. Next Steps If the City Council directs staff to prepare an ordinance amending CMC Section 2.04.030, staff will prepare the ordinance for the City Council's consideration and introduction at a subsequent meeting. If the ordinance is considered and introduced at the City Council's meeting on Oct. 15, 2019 and adopted at the City Council's meeting on Oct. 22, 2019, the ordinance would take effect on Nov. 21, 2019. Environmental Evaluation (CEQA) Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21065, this action does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of CEQA in that it has no potential to cause either.a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and therefore does not require environmental review.

I believe it is my responsibility to help to facilitate a smooth transition with temporary, but continued representation for District 1---and at the same time, to set the stage to have the most transparent and democratic process for permanently filling the seat for the remainder of my term. Please help me to correctly word the agenda item in order to achieve two outcomes at th.is Oct 8 meeting: 1. Make council member nominations to fill the District 1 seat until a special election in March 2020. 2. Amend the CMC to allow Council flexibility to both appoint a Councilmember to fill a vacancy, as well as to call for a special election. Once we agree to the wording for the agenda item I would ask that you inform the full Council so that they are not taken by surprise.

John Muir 1 Oct. 8, 2019 Item #8 Page 3 of 5 Exhibit 1 CITY COUNCIL VACANCY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS OCCURRENCE OF A VACANCY When does a City Council vacancy by resignation occur? A City Council vacancy by resignation occurs when a City Council member delivers a written letter of resignation to the city clerk. (Gov. Code,§§ 1750, subd. (f), 1770, subd. (c)(2).) The letter of resignation may specify the resignation's effective date. (Gov. Code,§ 1770, subd. (c)(2).) The vacancy begins on the effective date of the resignation. The City Council does not need to accept the resignation for the resignation to be effective. (Meeker v. Reed, City Clerk (1924) 70 Cal.App. 119, 123.) When is the effective date of Council Member Hamilton's resignation? Council Member Hamilton's resignation states it "will be effective October 315\ 2019, or before if a successful appointment to fill the District 1 seat is made by Council." FILLING A VACANCY How may a City Council vacancy be filled? A City Council vacancy may be filled by a City Council appointment or by a special election called by the City Council. If, however, the city clerk receives petitions bearing verified signatures of 10% of the registered voters in the affected City Council district, the City Council must call a special election. (Gov. Code,§ 36512, subd. (b), (c)(2); Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC), § 2.04.030(A), (B).) How will the City Council make its decision whether to fill the vacancy by appointment or special election? The City Council will make its decision to fill the vacancy by appointment or special election by a majority vote at an open, noticed meeting. May the City Council fill a vacancy by making an interim appointment and calling a special election? CMC 2.04.030(A) currently perm its the City Council to fill a vacancy either by making an appointment or by calling a special election, but not by both actions. The City Council has the authority to amend CM C 2.04.030 to permit both actions. (See Cal. Const., art. XI,§ 5, subd. (b)(3) [authority of charter cities]; see also Gov. Code,§ 36512, subd. (c)(3) [permitting a city to adopt an ordinance requiring the city council to immediately call a special election and providing that a person appointed to fill a vacancy holds office only until the date of the special election].) When may the City Council act to fill a vacancy? The City Council may act to fill a vacancy upon the effective date of the vacancy. (Gov. Code, § 36512, subd. (b); CMC, § 2.04.030(A).) If the City Council acts to fill the vacancy by appointment under Oct. 8, 2019 Item #8 Page 4 of 5 Exhibit 2 Sheila Cobian From: Sent: To: Subject: -----Original Message----- Council Internet Email Monday, October 07, 2019 4:59 PM Sheila Cobian FW: Appointment District 1 Representative From: simon angel Sent: Sunday, October 6, 2019 9:11 PM To: Council Internet Email <CityCouncil@carlsbadca.gov> Subject: Appointment District 1 Representative Greetings ladies and gentlemen, /\II Receive -Agenda Item# B For the Information of the: CITY COUNCIL Date IC,~ CA ✓cc ~ CM ~ i---DCM (3) ~ I am contacting you for the purpose of submitting myself for your consideration regarding the appointment to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of council member Barbara Hamilton. This request is not made lightly and I have spent much time over the past couple of days discussing this with family, friends and neighbors. While I recognize that the odds may be against me, I care deeply for my community and the residents of District 1 and those matters that may impact them. There has never been a resident of the Barrio that has ever been appointed or elected to serve on the city council. My hope is to change that and to be deliberate in addressing matters coming before the city council. I do not minimize the challenges or difficulties in this endeavor but I will do my best. I intend to listen and be considerate of public input and give it the value that it deserves. I know how difficult and intimidating it can be to address the city council. I tan only hope to be as diligent in advocating on behalf of all the residents of District 1 as Barbara Hamilton has demonstrated. The inner workings of municipal government will be a challenge and I will rely on the indulgence and patience of other council members and staff in order to rise to the level of being a good steward and public servant. I thank you for your consideration in this matter.

City Council seats are critical in t he "management/oversight" of City business and development, as well as preserving the locality for its' residents. D-1 is experiencing ongoing redevelopment and building with much needed improvement to the traffic and circulation through D-1, the coastal road, and access to fire and safety services. An election will bring forward candidates that can then offer their suggestions/ideas for the management of current and future development in the District. D-1 is more than the coastal area or the Village or Barrio. We must remember that development, services, roads, etc., are impacted by the City as a whole. Please allow we citizens to have our say by a public election.

I concur with members pf the Barrio Community Advocates as written below. With the impending leaving of council member Barbara Hamilton our awareness regarding Barrio Carlsbad issues has been heightened. We are more aware now of the possible consequences. Among these issues are the addressing of CIP projects and changes to the Village and Barrio Master Plan to address the disparate treatment between Village and Barrio districts. I Our opinion is that if the District 1 representative position is left unfilled while the special election process takes place the addressing of Barrio issues and concerns could be adversely impacted because these issues and concerns will require further action by the city council. A 4 person city council provides no assurance or guarantee of action during the interim period of 4 months. More importantly it denies the residents of District 1 representation during this time. We urge the city council to appoint a representative for District 1 and provide for an election in March of 2020 so the voters can have a say regarding their representative.

I believe it needs immediate representation when Barbara Hamilton leaves her position at the end of the month. As a citizen of Carlsbad I will be extremely upset if you waste our tax dollars by holding a special election. We had a very very close election less than a year ago. I would hope the Council is wise enough and responsible enough to fill the position with the runner-up Tracy Carmichael. Tracy Carmichael has remained active and has proven she knows our community, wants the best for our community and listens to both sides of all issues. When Tracy lost the election, she did not go have a pity · party for herself .... she became even more active!! This shows her true character and her motives to make this the best community possible! I do not feel the need to list off all she has done for the City of Carlsbad, because you all are well aware of her involvement. However, please note I will be an extremely disappointed resident if you chose to hold a special election wasting the city's money. I hereby request that the City Council use its authority to appoint Tracy Carmichael to complete the term of the seat being vacated by Ms. Hamilton. And thank you to Ms. Hamilton for serving our community. I know it is a very difficult job.

I would like to share my thoughts about the upcoming council opening. 1. It is very important to me that the elected council member from district 1, be a part of the process-in which a new member is selected. I was very disappointed that my elected council member was prevented from participating in the goals setting process last month. · 2. It is also important to me that our district have representation now. 3. It appears to me that the consultant did not address the fact that we ar:e discussing a district council member replacement and not replacing an at large council member. Our municipal code needs to be updated. 4. An appointment it should be done in a timely manner which would include the council member that is leaving having a vote in that decision. I would enthusiastically support Simon Angel for the appointment in District 1. He has been an integral part of the community since Carlsbad's early days. Simon has been a thoughtful and measured voice throughout the years on a variety of issues. Most recently, he spoke with thousands of folks in our community about local concerns, while encouraging new voters to register. Simon almost single handedly doubled the voter turn out in the Barrio. He also spoke with folks throughout district 1 and district 3. Simon would be an excellent addition to the council and is aligned with the council member who was duly elected. Thank you for your time and consideration with this matter.

I am opposed to the council 'replacing' this seat via appointment by the other council members. This seat is in play until 2022 and a replacement of anyone other than someone voted on by the district seems undemocratic. The emails on this topic state that a cost of $300k would be incurred to hold an election. We are already having an election for two other districts in 2020. I believe the seat should remain open, sans a council member until one can be voted in by the residents. 1 That said, I am curious as to your feelings on this subject.
