Pursuant to the provisions of Section 28 of the City Charter, the purpose of this report is to present the results of the General Municipal Election and special elections held on April 8, 2003 to the Council for approval.

 

BACKGROUND:

A Primary Nominating Election was conducted in the City of Burbank on February 25, 2003 for the purpose of nominating or electing candidates for two members of the City Council and three members of the Board of Education. Resulting from that election, one candidate received the majority of the votes cast for Member of the Board of Education, thereby being duly elected to office, and no candidate received a majority of the votes cast for Member of the City Council. The remaining two seats on the City Council and School Board were to be filled in the General Municipal Election to be held on April 8, 2003.

 

On April 8, 2003, the City of Burbank conducted the General Municipal Election, for the purpose of filling the above seats. Consolidated with the General Election were special elections for voter consideration of Measure N, the Transient Parking Tax, and Measure O, the Charter Amendment for Filling Vacancies in City Elective Offices.

The canvass of the Election was completed on Friday, April 11, 2003 with the official results posted the same day. The five-day protest period expired on April 18, 2003 at 5:00 p.m.

 

ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION:

A summary of the votes cast in each precinct as well as the absentee votes for each of the candidates is attached to the resolution as Exhibit A.  The summary indicates the following results:

 

Jef Vander Borght  and Todd Campbell received the majority of the votes cast for Member of the City Council and as such are duly elected to office for a full term of four years.

It is recommended that the Council accept the returns as submitted by the City Clerk and officially declare the results of the General Municipal Election and special elections held on April 8, 2003.
