Agenda Item
1.B 23-748 Presentation on Timelines and Administrative Requirements For Placement of Ballot Measures on the March and/or November 2024 Ballot Including Consideration of Amendments to the City Charter to Change the Police Chief and/or City Clerk from Elected to Appointed Positions and Consideration of an Action to Approve a Work Plan for Same, Including Possible Formation of a Charter Review Committee
It's amazing that Council Member Jain continues to lump the City Clerk position with the Chief of Police, as though they were equivalent. There is no rational reason for appointing rather than electing a clerk. Also the attached POA survey is directed. Note that company "Connect Political," bought by NEP Services in 2021, is described as a "full service political and digital strategy firm" rather than a scientifically based polling and analytical service. It is a biased vote getting enterprise.
