AGENDA TITLE: Consider Procedure for Filling of Council Vacancy
MEETING DATE: January 21, 1998
SUBMITTED BY: Deputy City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That Council approve accepting resumes from citizens interested in
filling vacant Council seat.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Council Member Dave Warner, recently appointed as a Lodi
Municipal Court Judge, will vacate his Council seat effective
February 9, 1998 when he is sworn into office. This will result in
one vacant position on the Council which may be filled by either Council appointment or by a special
election. Council has indicated that it will be more prudent to appoint an interim Council Member and is
thus seeking applications from interested citizens.
The resumes will be accepted starting Monday, February 9, 1998 and must be delivered in person to the
Lodi City Clerk's office by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, February 16, 1998. The City Clerk will then schedule
individual appointments with potential candidates to review the process and will also distribute the Conflict
of Interest form which must be completed prior to final consideration for the position.
Council Members will review information provided by the candidates prior to making the appointment. The
selected candidate will serve the remainder of the term which expires after the November 1998 election.
FUNDING: Current budget
