Resign to run Sample Clauses

Resign to run. Automatic resignation occurs if a city council member announces candidacy for other office with more than 13 months remaining in their term In addition, the above requirement to elect all council members by majority vote is further complicated by a 1983 lawsuit against the City of Corpus Christi surrounding the lack of diversity at the time in our city council. The City lost the 1983 lawsuit and was placed under a federal court order that created our current mixed election system of single-member districts and at-large positions. It also dictated our current system of a plurality vote in the at-large positions. In 1983, election experts saw majority vote in at-large positions as the least conducive system to produce diversity in council elections. It remains the same today. How that 1983 federal court order impacts a decision today to move to longer council terms, which would require a majority vote on all council elections including our at-large positions, is up for debate. In a recent conversation with Secretary of State Xxxx X. Xxxxx on an ancillary issue, she raised our 1983 federal court order unprompted and suggested we review carefully that order to be sure we would be able to make the changes under discussion. Additionally, two prior city attorneys believed the City of Corpus Christi remains bound by that federal court order. This is reflected in a June 2011 City Attorney memo responding to similar Council questions that states, “…the 1983 federal court order is still in effect, and we are still required to comply with its provisions. …. we would have to petition the federal court for a modification of the order. According to federal law, if we seek modification, we must first show that there has been a significant change in circumstances that require the modification.” On the other hand, our current City Attorney disagrees with that 2011 opinion and believes it is defensible to change our current system of council elections without seeking a modification to the 1983 federal court order. The City Attorney will be producing a written legal opinion to that effect by the end of January 2020. What are the advantages and disadvantages of moving to longer council terms and subsequently to staggered terms?
