This City of Tallahassee agenda item, scheduled for action on June 10, 2009, addresses a sunset review of City Commission Policy 144 regarding the filling of unanticipated City Commission vacancies, which was originally adopted November 26, 2002. The Leon County Supervisor of Elections estimates a standalone special City election would cost approximately $342,000 and requires 12 weeks' notice; staff recommends amending Section 14 of the City Charter to eliminate the special election requirement to avoid these costs during current economic conditions. The staff also recommends revising City Commission Policy 144 to address the nominating sequence when Commissioners have equal seniority, specifying that nomination would proceed in the order Commissioners last served as mayor pro-tem, starting with the current mayor pro-tem. The recommended action is to introduce Ordinance No. 09-0-30 and schedule a public hearing for June 24, 2009, with estimated fiscal savings of $342,000 to $680,000.
