The City's 2019 election <br /> would be held on its normal date, for a three year term to 2022. Then, starting in <br /> the 2022 election, the newly elected Council members would serve for four year <br /> terms; or <br /> • Extend the term for the 2019 election to five years. The City's 2019 election <br /> would be held on its normal date, for a five year term to expire in 2024. Then, <br /> starting in the 2024 election, the newly elected Council members would serve for <br /> four year terms. <br /> These options are summarized below. <br /> Hold Election 2019 as Scheduled: <br /> 2019 Election Next Election Next Election <br /> 4 yr <br /> 3 year term 2022 2026 <br /> Or 4 yr <br /> 5 year term 2024 2028 <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> The initial cost savings to the City if it chooses to consolidate its 2017 election with the <br /> 2018 Statewide election is currently unknown, and will depend on the number of other <br /> jurisdictions in San Mateo County who consolidate their off-cycle elections with the <br /> statewide election cycle. Additionally, per the Elections Code, once the City takes action <br /> to change its election cycle to the statewide election, all registered voters in the City <br /> must be notified of the change through the mail, which will create unanticipated printing <br /> and mailing costs of approximately $25,000. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> This activity is not a project under CEQA as defined in CEQA Guidelines, Section <br /> 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or foreseeable physical <br /> change in the environment. <br /> 7 <br />
