At the January 16 meeting, the Council directed staff to prepare a draft ordinance for
voter consideration that would include the following provisions:
• Establish a limit of three full terms or twelve years, whichever is less;
• Define service of two years or more during a term, whether appointed or
elected, to count toward the limit as a full term;
• Mayoral and Council Member terms count towards the same limit;
• Keep the prohibition period of two years from the last day of service;
• An individual is eligible for appointment to fill a vacancy during that prohibition
period; and
• Terms served by current Council Members do not count towards the new limit
and the limits would be applicable beginning with the November 2026 election.
