ENACT TERM LIMITS.
WHEREAS, the residents of many cities have either
enacted term limits for members of their City Councils, or
have expressed a desire to enact such term limits; and
WHEREAS, State of california Courts of Appeal have held
that the residents of general law cities do not have the
authqrity to enact term limits for members of their City

of general law cities; and
WHEREAS, legislation has been introduced in the State
Legislature which, if enacted, would authorize the residents
of general law cities to enact term limits for members of
their City Councils.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of

1. The city Council supports, the enactment of
legislation to guthorize'the residents of general law cities

Legislature enact such legislation, and ~equests that the
