CITY OF BURBANK

OFFICE OF CITY CLERK

MEMORANDUM

DATE: March 13, 2007
TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Margarita Campos, City Clerk
SUBJECT: DECLARING THE RESULTS OF THE PRIMARY NOMINATING ELECTION HELD ON FEBRUARY 27, 2007.

 

PURPOSE:

 

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 28 of the City Charter, the purpose of this report is to present the results of the Primary Nominating Election held on February 27, 2007 for Council approval.

 

BACKGROUND:

 

A Primary Nominating Election was conducted in the City of Burbank on February 27, 2007 for the purpose of nominating or electing candidates for two seats on the City Council and three seats on the Board of Education. Following is the list of candidates who qualified for the ballot in ballot order:

 

City Council Candidates:

 

1.      Carolyn Berlin

2.      Anja Reinke

3.      Phil Berlin

4.      Margaret Sorthun

5.      Vahe Hovanessian

6.      Whit Prouty

7.      Gary R. Bric

 

Board of Education Candidates:

 

1.      Roberta Grande Reynolds

2.      Ted Bunch

3.      Dave L. Kemp

 

Notice of the Election was given, precincts established, election officers appointed, and the supplies furnished.  The votes cast were received and canvassed as required by law.

 

The canvass of the Election was completed on Friday, March 2, 2007 with the official results posted on the same day.  The five-day protest period expires on Wednesday, March 7, 2007 at 5:00 p.m. No protests were received as of the printing of the agenda.

 

ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION:

 

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

 

There was no candidate who received a majority of the votes cast at the Election for Member of the City Council and as such, the two seats on the City Council will be filled in the General Municipal Election to be held on April 10, 2007 by two of the following four candidates: Gary R. Bric; Anja Reinke; Carolyn Berlin; and, Phil Berlin.

 

Each of the three Board of Education candidates received a majority of the votes cast and are therefore duly elected to office for a full term of four years, ending April 30, 2011.  These offices will therefore not be on the General Election ballot.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

Staff is recommending that the Council accept the returns as submitted by the City Clerk and adopt the resolution officially declaring the results of the Primary Nominating Election held on February 27, 2007.

 

 

Margarita Campos, CMC

City Clerk
