In order for the City of Lodi to consolidate with the County of San Joaquin for the November 3, 1987 election, it is required that the City Council adopt a resolution requesting consolidation for presentation to the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors at least 88 days prior to the election. A sample resolution is attached for Council's review. Section 4015.5 entitled Rebuttal Arguments of the State of California Elections Code sets forth the provisions for rebuttal arguments and determines that rebuttal arguments can only be allowed if not later than the day on which the legislative body calls an election, the legislative body, by a majority vote, adopts its provisions. This section also provides that if Council allows rebuttal, it shall be allowed at the next ensuing municipal election and each municipal election thereafter until repealed. Rebuttal was not allowed .in the November 1985 election but was allowed in the November 1986 election. It should be noted that, in 1986, no arguments against the measures nor rebuttal were received. vU C' l COMMUN I Cr'- i I l 14 PAGE NO.
