enda Item
(04 -325) Request from Alameda Unified School District that the
City Council place a ballot measure for voter consideration on the
November 2, 2004 Election which would amend the City Charter by
deleting Article XI and references to the Alameda Unified School
District.
The City Clerk stated that Council could place the ballot measure
on the November 2, 2004 Election as late as August 6; suggested
resolution be placed on the July 20 City Council agenda in order to
allow for preparation of ballot arguments.
Vice Mayor Daysog inquired whether the School District forwarded
sample language for changing the charter, to which the City
Attorney responded in the negative.
Mayor Johnson inquired whether the drafted language would need to
go back to the School Board, to which the City Attorney responded
although it is not legally required, the School District would most
likely appreciate input.
Mayor Johnson stated that the language currently provided is
inadequate to address charter issues; the City Attorney has offered
to help the District draft the language and go through procedural
issues.
Vice Mayor Daysog stated that the School District would hopefully
formalize their desire to work with the City Attorney in drafting
the language; that a special School District meeting would need to
be held.
The President of the School Board concurred with Vice Mayor Daysog;
stated that the District is up to the challenge.
Councilmember Matarrese moved acceptance of the request and
directed the City Attorney to work with the School District on
drafting language and reviewing procedural steps.
