DISCUSSION
The City's General Municipal Election is scheduled for November 6, 2012. The first resolution
attached to this agenda report(Attachment 1)calls and gives notice of the General Municipal
Election for the election of certain officers of the City(for the purpose of electing a Mayor for a
two-year term and two City Councilmembers for a four-year term) and for submission to the
voters of a ballot measure (Article 34 authorization ordinance), and requests the County
Board of Supervisors to consolidate the General Municipal Election with the Presidential
General Election on said date.
The Article 34 authorization ballot measure that is proposed to be included on the November
6, 2012 election ballot is consistent with the City Council direction at the regular meeting on
May 2, 2012. At that meeting, the City Council directed staff to proceed with placing a
measure on the November 6 ballot that pursuant to Article 34 of the California Constitution
would give the City of Moorpark the ability to develop, construct, or acquire up to a maximum
of 200 low rent housing units affordable to persons of low income in the City of Moorpark over
a 10-year period. A draft Article 34 authorization ordinance has been prepared, and has been 12 3

included as Exhibit A to the resolution calling the election. This resolution also includes the
proposed question for the Article 34 measure that would be included on the election ballot.
The draft ordinance will be printed with the sample ballot that is mailed to the registered
voters, and staff will also make this information available on the City's website. The City
Attorney's office has reviewed the draft ordinance and ballot question.
In conjunction with the calling of the General Municipal Election, and pursuant to Section
10002 of the Elections Code, the second resolution that is attached to the agenda report
(Attachment 2), is required in order for the Board of Supervisors to permit the County Clerk to
render services in conducting the General Municipal Election for the City and placement of the
measure on the ballot.
The third resolution that is attached to the agenda report(Attachment 3)is required in order to
set priorities for filing written arguments for the proposed City ballot measure and to direct the
City Attorney to prepare the impartial analysis. Since it is the City that is proposing to place
the Article 34 measure on the ballot, it is appropriate for the City to determine that the
members of the City Council will be given preference and priority for arguments in favor of the
ballot measure, which is how the resolution has been drafted.
Consistent with Section 9287 of the Elections Code, if the legislative body does not determine
to authorize a member or members to have preference and priority for filing arguments in
favor of or against a ballot measure, then the city elections official shall give preference and
priority in the order named:
"(b) The individual voter, or bona fide association of citizens, or combination of voters
and associations, who are the bona fide sponsors or proponents of the measure.
(c) Bona fide associations of citizens
(d) Individual voters who are eligible to vote on the measure."
The fourth resolution (Attachment 4) provides for the filing of rebuttal arguments for City
measures submitted at municipal elections.
Three City Council positions (Mayor and two Councilmember positions) will be on the ballot
for the November 6, 2012, General Municipal Election. The candidate filing period begins July
16 and ends at 5:00 p.m. on August 10. If an incumbent does not run for reelection, the filing
period for that Mayor or Councilmember position would be extended to 5:00 p.m. on August
15.
Staff has included as an attachment to this agenda report (Attachment 5) the County of
Ventura's election calendar for the election on November 6, 2012. The County's election
calendar for the November 6 election identifies that the last day for the Council to file with the
County Board of Supervisors (with copy to County Clerk)the required election resolutions is
July 2, 2012.
The City Council has previously adopted Resolution No. 2010-2929 (see Attachment 6)
pertaining to regulations for candidates' statements and determining provisions for resolving
tie votes. Resolution No. 2010-2929 is still valid and does not require updating.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Fiscal Year 2012/2013 draft Budget already includes the estimated amount of$15,000
for election services to be provided by the County of Ventura Elections Division for the
November 2012 General Municipal Election. Adding the ballot measure will result in higher
printing costs, and staff will review any need for a budget amendment after the County's
invoice is received following the November 2012 election.
Voter approval of the Article 34 ballot measure would not result in a fiscal impact, and the
adoption action does not increase taxes, revenues, or expenses of the City. Any future
affordable housing project would go through the public review and environmental clearance
process, as required by the City's Municipal Code and State law, and decisions regarding
conditions of approval, mitigation, fees, expenses, and funding would occur at that time.
