8.C. - Page 4 E. When a member completes a term without being reappointed to the succeeding term, including instances in which a member is not reappointed because they would exceed the term limit, such member shall continue to serve until a successor is appointed and qualified. 3) Citv Manager Local Residencv Requirement The Committee recommends amending Section 26 (City Manager). This amendment deletes the local residency requirement for the City Manager in order to comply with State law. Section 26 of the Charter currently states that if the City Manager is not a resident of the City at the time of appointment, he/she shall become and remain a resident of the City promptly after appointment. Section 26 was last amended in 1936. In 1976, Article XI, Section 10 of the California Constitution was amended to prohibit cities from requiring that employees be residents. The proposed amendments conform the Charter to this Constitutional requirement by deleting the residency requirement in Section 26. 4) Budget Procedures The Committee recommends amendments to Section 51 (Budget) and Section 51.5 (Adoption of Budget). These proposed amendments reduce the administrative steps required to adopt the annual budget while preserving the same level of transparency and public input. Currently, Section 51 requires the Council to establish, by motion, the date on which the City Manager will submit the budget to the Council for review. The proposed amendments eliminate the need for the Council to take this procedural action and replace it with a requirement that the City Manager submit the budget at least 30 days before the new fiscal year begins. Section 51.5 contains a similar procedural requirement that the budget be adopted by resolution upon a date established by resolution of the Council. The proposed amendments remove this requirement for two separate resolutions and simply require that the budget be adopted by resolution after conclusion of the public hearing. Together, these amendments remove non -substantive procedural steps associated with budget adoption. They do not alter the substantive information required to be included in the budget, nor do they change the general requirement to make copies of the budget available for inspection by the public or the requirement to hold a public hearing on the budget.
