Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the filling of a vacancy on a council and to provide for the filling of a vacancy in certain instances.

CITY COUNCILS -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the filling of a vacancy on a council and to provide for the filling of a vacancy in certain instances.

CITY COUNCILS

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

Current state legislation is vague on the process of filling City Council membership unless the Mayoral office is filled, and the Council has a quorum. This bill will provide a more defined process of maintaining continuity of city government if either of those components are lacking and maintains local control of the process except in extreme circumstances.
