WHEREAS, on January 16, 2018, in accordance with the provisions of the Chula Vista

four years, commencing in December 2018; and
WHEREAS, only two candidates submitted sufficient nomination papers and qualified
for placement on the ballot for the General Municipal Election for the positions of Member of
the City Council, District 1, and City Attorney; and
WHEREAS, Chula Vista Charter Sections 300.A.3, 300.E., and 503(c) provide that in
this situation no General Municipal Election shall be held for the positions and, instead, the
qualified candidates should be considered for election at the November runoff election; and
WHEREAS, in accordance with the Chula Vista Charter and State law, the two qualified
candidates for the position of Member of the City Council, District 1 and the two qualified
candidates for the position of City Attorney shall therefore be placed on the ballot for the
November runoff election; and
WHEREAS, the updated cost estimate from the Registrar of Voters is $200,000 for
conducting the General Municipal Election for the positions of Mayor and Member of the City
Council, District 1, and the ballot measure previously approved by Council, which is
approximately $40,000 more than the amount budgeted for the election.

SECTION 2. This resolution amends City Council Resolution No. 2018-004 to remove

Election for the Member of the City Council, District 1 and City Attorney called for in
Resolution No. 2018-004 will not be held and the two qualified candidates for each position shall
be placed on the ballot for the November runoff election.
