SUBJECT:
Title
Approval of a resolution adopting an order cancelling the May 4, 2019 Regular Election for City Council District One; and declaring the candidate for City Council District One Elected.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
The Texas Election Code specifies procedures for electing unopposed candidates for City Council. The City Secretary is to certify that a candidate is unopposed for election and that if the election were held only the votes cast for that candidate in the election for that office may be counted. After the deadline for filing an application for a place on the ballot passed on February 15, 2019, without additional candidates, the City Secretary certified in writing to the City Council that the candidate for City Council District One is unopposed. After such certification the City Council may declare by order each unopposed candidate elected to the office, thereby canceling the May 4, 2019 Regular Election for District One.
