Existing law provides that an office becomes vacant upon the happening of, among other things, the resignation of the person from office before the expiration of the term. This bill would provide that, in the case of the office of city council member, the office becomes vacant pursuant to a letter of resignation from the resigning council member to the city clerk. Existing law requires a city council, within 60 days of a vacancy in an elective office, to fill that vacancy by appointment or call a special election to fill the vacancy, as specified. This bill would authorize a resigning city council member to cast a vote on the appointment of his or her successor if the resignation will go into effect upon the appointment of the successor, subject to specified conditions, where the vacancy occurs on the city council of a city that elects city council members by or from districts and the city council has elected to fill the vacancy by appointment.
