In 1998, the City Council adopted a resolution regarding Ballot <br />Measure 65 at the request of Councilor Taylor, and in 2000, the City Council adopted resolutions <br />regarding a number of ballot measures at the request of Councilor Meisner and then-Councilor Farr. <br />The proposed resolutions were drafted by Councilor Kelly as State law places strict limitations on the <br />involvement of public employees in election matters. <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />There are no city policies inherent in the consideration of these proposed resolutions. <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br />The City Council may adopt these resolutions as drafted, may modify resolutions, or reject either or both <br />of them. <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION <br />The City Manager makes no recommendation on the proposed resolutions. <br /> <br /> L:\CMO\2004 Council Agendas\M040913\S0409132G.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
