San Francisco, CA 94080 Dear Barbara: I enclose a copy of the opinion of Legislative Counsel dated today with respect to the invalidity of the two term limitation on city council members and the ramifications arising therefrom. As indicated, the Legislative Counsel is of the opinion that the limitation is not valid, that you must accept the candidacy papers of a city council member seeking election for a third term, that you will incur no liability for doing so and that there might even be exposure to damages if such candidacy papers are not accepted. Under the circumstances as your pro bono publico lawyer, I also recommend that you accept the candidacy papers of Council Member Roberta Teglia or any other two term council member who seeks election to a third term. If y©6 have any further questions or comments, just let me know. QLK:jr enc. cc: Hon. Mark N. Addiego Council Members, City of So. San Francisco STATE CAPITOL. SACRAMENTO.

GREGORY Sacramento, California July 8, 1987 Honorable Quentin Kopp 4062 State Capitol City Council Terms - #18644 Dear Senator Kopp: You have informed us that the City of South San Francisco, a general law city, has enacted an ordinance which provides that city council members may not serve more than two consecutive elective terms. You have asked several questions in connection with this ordinance which we answer separately below. QUESTION NO. 1 Is ~he ordinance of the City of South San Francisco which provides that city council members may not serve more than two consecutive elective terms valid? OPINION NO. 1 The ordinance of the City of South San Francisco which provides that city council members may not serve more than two consecutive elective terms is not valid. ANALYSIS NO. 1 As a general proposition, general law cities have only those powers conferred on them by the Legislature, together with such powers as are necessarily incident to those granted (Widdows v. Koch, 263 Cal. App. 2d 228, 239, Irwin v. City of Manhattan Beach, 65 Cal. 2d 13, 20-21). While the Legislature has broadly empowered cities to pass ordinances not in conflict with the Honorable-,Quentin Kopp - p. 2 - #18644 California Constitution or the laws of the state (see Sec. 37100, Gov. C.), we think that this is simply a legislative recognition of a city's ability to enact local regulatory and prohibitory legislation under the police power (see Sec. 7, Art. XI, Cal. Const.). In this regard, a limitation upon the terms that a city councilmember may serve is not, in our opinion, a measure that can be enacted under the police power.. It is not a regulatory measure of the sort associated with the exercise of the police power (see Rose v. State of California, 19 Cal. 2d 713, 730; and see Peppin, "Municipal House Rule in California III: Section 11 of Article XI of the California Constitution," Vol. 32, No. 4, Cal. Law Rev., at p. 365). In Younger v. Board of Supervisors, 93 Cal. App. 3d 864, the voters of a county had approved an amendment to the county charter so as to limit the number of consecutive terms that an elective county official could serve. The court held that the measure of power accorded charter counties under the California Constitution did not include the power to limit the terms of elective officials, where such a limitation constituted an additional qualification for office, and thus conflicted with the general statewide law concerning eligibility for holding county office (see Sec. 24001 et seq., Gov. C.). There is no law which gives the legislative body of a general law city authority to limit the number of terms which a council member may serve. The only qualifications imposed by state law are that a council member must be an elector of the city at the time of assuming office and must have been a registered.voter of the city at the time nomination papers are issued (Se=i' 36502, Gov. C.). There is no limitation on the number of terms a council member may serve. Thus, in our opinion the ordinance of the City of South San Francisco which provides that city council members may not serve more than two consecutive elective terms is not valid. QUESTION NO. 2 Is the city clerk under a duty to accept or reject the candidacy papers of a city council member seeking to run for a third term to the City of South San Francisco city council? OPINION AND ANALYSIS NO. 2 A person will not be recognized as a legal candidate, with certain exceptions not pertinent to this inquiry, unless the person files a declaration of candidacy with the appropriate public official (see Sec. 52, Elec. C.). In the case of a city Honorable Quentin ~opp - p. 3 - #18644 # council election, the appropriate public official is the city clerk, who is the official charged with primary responsibility over the conduct of municipal elections (see Sec. 22900 et seq., Elec. C.). We will assume, for purposes of this opinion, that the only matter in dispute with respect to the acceptance of the candidacy papers of the city council member is the issue of whether the member.can seek a third term. Because we have concluded that the ordinance limiting a city council member to two consecutive elective terms is invalid, there would be no .reason to reject the member's candidacy on this basis. Moreover,' even if the ordinance is valid, we think that the city clerk lacks the authority to reject the candidacy papers. In Wheeler v. Hall, 188 Cal. 49, 54, one issue presented was whether certain candidates had been eligible to run for office. The court denied a petition to omit the names and commented on that argument: ". . . The clerk is a mere ministerial officer and he is not required to ascertain whether or not the candidate who offers himself to be voted for at an election is or is not eligible to hold the office for which he stands. The several candidates are not parties to this proceeding and they have no opportunity to controvert the allegation. It is sufficient to say that we do not think the clerk can raise the objection and refuse to place the name on the ballot because of his knowledge, information, or belief that the proposed candidate is not eligible to the office .... " Therefore, since there is no express statutory authority permitting a city clerk to independently determine a candidate'~'.-eligibility to the city council, the city clerk may not refuse~to accept the candidacy papers of the city council member even if the ordinance limiting the member to two consecutive elective terms is valid. QUESTION NO. 3 What, if any, liability would be incurred by the city clerk for accepting the candidacy papers? OPINION AND ANALYSIS NO. 3 We have concluded that the ordinance in question is invalid. Moreover, there is no provision of law which would impose any liability upon the city clerk for accepting the candidacy papers of the city council member. Thus, the city clerk would incur no liability for accepting the candidacy papers. Honorable Quen~i~ Kopp - p. 4 - #18644 # QUESTION NO. 4 If the city clerk refuses to accept the candidacy papers, what is the nature and extent of the city clerk's liability? OPINION NO. 4 If the city clerk refuses to accept the candidacy papers, a writ of mandate could be obtained to require placement of the candidate's name on the ballot.' In addition, if damages are incurred by the candidate and the candidate has attempted to limit those damages by seeking a writ of mandate, the city clerk will be liable for damages if he or she has not acted in good faith in refusing to accept the candidacy papers. ANALYSIS NO. 4 Section 10015 of the Elections Code states: "Any voter may seek a writ of mandate alleging that an error or omission has occurred or is about to occur in the placing of any name on, or in the printing of, a ballot, sample ballot, voter pamphlet or other official matter, or that any neglect of duty has occurred or is about to occur. .~ "A peremptory writ of mandate shall issue only upon proof that the error, omission or neglect is in violation of this code or the Constitution and that issuance of the Writ will not s.u~Stantially interfere with the conduct of the ~lection. "Such action or appeal shall have priority over all other civil matters." This section permits any voter to seek a writ of mandate to prevent any error from being made in the placement of a name on an election ballot. It is unclear from the terms of this section whether actions by voters are limited to instances where they seek to remove a name from the ballot, rather than instances where an order is sought to require placement of a name on the ballot. However, even if this section is not construed to afford a candidate a right to seek a writ of mandate, we think that this writ could be sought pursuant to Section 1185 and following of the Code of civil Procedure. The purpose of a writ of mandamus is to enforce a clear legal right of the petitioner against one who has a legal duty to Honorable Quenti~ ~opp - p. 5 - #18644 # perform an act necessary to the enjoyment of that right (Sec. 1085, C.C P ; Farrington v. Fairfield~ 194 Cal. A$~. 2d 237, 239). It may only be used to compel the performa~-Of ministerial act,'to compel the exercise of discretion wher~ a d~cre~onar~_A~ty_i~v~lve~,_or t~.~ontrol an abume of ~scre~lon ~ec. lump, u.c.m.,.Me~ropol~tan Water Dist. ~. Marquardt, 59 Cal..2d 159, 170, Thurmond v. Superior ~--~ ~?Q 66 Cal. 2d 836, 840-841; Broyles v. Carter, 142 Ca] a~ -fl~ 2d 647, 650). As to the parties who may initiate procee~s a writ of mandate, 'it is required that a party be interested" (Sec. 1086, C.C.P.). Any persons particularly affected by the failure to perform duties specifically en~~ by law are generally deemed to meet the latter requisite ...... (Fuller v. San Bernardino Valley Mun. Wat. Distr., 242 Cal. A~. 2d 52, 56-60). A person would be clearly affected by ~he of a city clerk to accept his or her candidacy papers. The to obtain a writ of mandate against a county clerk to counting of signatures to place a measure on the ballot ha~ been upheld against the assertion by the county clerk that the measure, if passed, would be invalid (Gale v. Harm, 25 Cai. A~. 3d 250). By analogy, if the city clerk refuses to accep: candidacy papers of a city council member seeking a third ~er~, writ could be obtained challenging the validity of the and seeking acceptance of the candidacy papers. There are no reported cases in California concernin~ whether an action for damages could be brought by an individual wrongly deprived of placement on the ballot by an election official. There are, however, cases in other jurisdictions have held that a right to damages does exist when a candidate deprived of his or her rights by the ministerial actio~ of an election off'icial, (Schwartz v. Heffernan (N.Y.), 109 N.Z- 2~ at pp. 70~7-1~ and Valdez v. Gonzales (N.M.), 176 P. 2d 173, pp. 176-177). However, Section 820.6 of the Government Code preclu~e~ 'a public official acting in good faith from being held liable damages for acting under the apparent authority of an unconstitutional enactment, except to the extent liability be incurred if the enactment were constitutional- Thus. & clerk acting in good faith could not be held liable for for refusing to place the city council member's name on ballot based on the South San Francisco ordinance limiti.~g members to two consecutive elective terms. In addition, in Valdez v. Gonzales, supra, the cour~ held that the damages incurred by the candidate had to nave been proximately caused by the election official in order for official to be liable (see also State ex rel. willis v. Lar~on (Wyo.), 539 P. 2d 352, 354-355). If an ind-~~i~eek~ =o collect damages, for failure to have his or her name ulaced3on.. Honora~l~ Quenti~ Kopp - p. 6 - #18644 the ballot, without seeking to utilize the writ of mandate remedy, it can be argued that the damages are most proximately caused by the failure to obtain a writ of mandate. Applying these cases would, therefore, likely lead to the conclusion that no action for damages will arise unless the candidate has tried to prevent damages from being incurred by seeking a writ of mandate under Section 10015 of the Elections Code. Finally, in an instance where personal liability for damages could be shown, the action could be brought by the city council member either against the city clerk in his or her personal capacity or on the bond required to be executed by the city prior to the clerk entering upon the duties of that office (see Sec. 36518, Gov. C., and Secsl 995.810 and 995.850, C.C.P.). Thus, we think that if the city clerk refuses to accept the candidacy papers, a writ of mandate could be obtained to 'require placement of the candidate's name on the ballot. In addition, if damages are incurred by the candidate, and the candidate has attempted to limit those damages by seeking a writ of mandate, the city clerk may be liable for damages, if he or she has not acted in good faith in refusing to accept the candidacy papers. QUESTION NO. 5 Is the City Council of the City of South San Francisco under any legal mandate to alter the ordinance limiting city council members to two consecutive elective terms? OPINION AND ANALYSIS NO. 5 ~There is no provision of either statutory or decisional law which requires a legislative, body to enact specific legislation or otherwise modify existing legislation (see Sec. 3, Art. III, Cal. Const.; Myers v. English, 9 cal. 341, 349). Hence, we conclude that the city Council of the City of South San Francisco is not required to alter the existing ordinance.

RECORD'~ Thursday, April 13, 1989 THE TIMES San Mateo--A3 ~ State court upholds election of Teglia SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO -- A delighted South San Francisco Councilwoman Roberta Teglia ~learned this morning that the state Court of Appeal in San Francisco' has rejected a suit to overturn her election to a third term on the councilAn 1987. "I'm very pleased, and I hope this is the end of what I thought was a really nonsensical exer- cise,'' she said when informed of the court's decision. Teglia, 48, ~vas elected to a third council term despite a 1972 city ordinance limiting incum- bents to two four-year terms. She contended at the time, citing vari- ous legal authorities, that the ordinance 'Was invalid. The voters apparently agreed, re-electing her by an overwhelming margin. But Warren Steinkamp, a for- mer councilman, who voted for the ordinance in 1972, filed suit ~in San Mateo County Superior Court to block her election. Judge Thomas M. Jenkins dismissed the suit in January 1988, but Stein- kamp later appealed to the state court, Steinkamp said this morning he had not seen the court decision yet so could no~ comment on it or whet~her, ,he m~ht appeal to the state Supreme Cotut.' ' !'City .contests I. egal filings SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO -- L:Former City Council Member yiWarren Steinkamp has filed an nappeal to Superior Court Judge ~c?homas Jenkins' decision Jan. 8 ~;that the city's two-term limit on City Council service is invalid b~because the state law pre-empts it. v~ And in a related matter, the ~ ty is preparing to dispute in- cumbent Council Member Roberta Teglia's counter-claim in acwhich she has asked Judge · Jenkins to go one step further k:and wipe the two-term limit off c,a the-city's books because he al- ?, ready has ruled on its validity.' Steinkamp filed a legal ~;challenge to Teglia's ability to serve a third term immediately o~- following her successful re-elec- :z. tion last November. ~,a She topped afield of five fo~ .~,three seats, and the two-term ~,. limit issue was the predominant ~..~: one in the campaign against her. The subject has been under debate for years. Two dty at- torneys have studied it, and both have concluded that tt ts unen- forceable. Opinions by the state Legislative Counsel and state Sen. Quentin Kopp agreed. Albert Polonsky, Steinkamp's attorney, said no decision had been made about whether to pursue .to the appeal to state courL He filed the notice, he said, to prevent any possibility that time limits would lapse and lose his client the opportunity. Teglia said the appeal "crosses the Line from a debate on the law to a personal vendetta against me. I believe the latest Steinkamp and cohorts' action is unjustified, unfair and unneces- sary, to say nothing about poten- tially very expensive." · Her legal claim is that she would not have incurred legal fees in the thousands if the city had removed the ordinance from the books as unenforceable. Teglia introduced a motion to repeal the law three years ago in the light of then-City .Attorney Bob Rogers' research which con- cluded it was unenforceable and invalid. .~ .... ', ~ Her motion died on a 3-1 vote, with Council Members Gus* Nicolopulos, Emanuele Damon~e and Mark Addiego opposed to the repeal. Member Rick Haffey was absent from that vote. City Attorney Valerie Armento said Teglia has no claim against the city since it was not a party in any of the wrongs she alleges. She pointed out that Teglia'$ election to a third term was cer- tified and she was duly seated on the council last fall. "The city has not taken any ac- tion to enforce this," Armento said. - ENTERPRISE JOURNAL Wednesday, January 13, 1988 w term Two-term Challenge 'challenge, * Limit,from Page Al fails challenge"~?'Cliy ,Council Member~ Teg~ia s ~t to s~e.~'{o~ye~ te~ has ~;:~':~M~ C~ Su- lud~e' thomas ~, Who h~d ~men~ c~last ~esday, has no~ed bO~ sides ~at state law corn: ple~ p~mp~ a ~ener~ law ~sabffi~ to m~e ~es ~- Mi~ ie' co~du~ ~f~.mu~dp~ ~~ .te~s for ~un~ arreg~, ~~~ed th~ lawsui~ pay ~ ~. , ~adgem~g~ Te~a s~d ~ ~ad'made no cl~.~ ~ She s~d .her leg~ b~s have ~ou-nted to ~"m~ple8 of ~o~- sands, of d~" A~empts to rea~Ste~p .,His city City ~ttomey ~Ibert Polonsky, no~ t~ ~lv~te pracUce~ said he h-ad- not ;di~assed: P°ssibfliUes of appeat.Wlrhhts "If'i. a; ~cas~ that .COuld have gone either way,' depending on what *the' Judger wanted to do, alta lt'S~ii~:as~-for which we had' sough{ a 'd~flnite opinion in coun,"~ Polonsky said.

San Mateo County supervisors and city council members in South San Francisco, San Bruno and Redwood City all are affected by laws limiting the number of con- secutive terms they may serve. However, a recent court ruling here and precedent-setting cases elsewhere in California indicate that, however well intentioned, limitations on office holders .can only be imposed by the state, itself. Redwood City's version, which sets a four:term limit, is the oldest, having been adopted by the voters as a charter amend- ment in 1968. It hhs come into play only once since then. San Bruno's two-term limit resulted from the passage of a voter initiative in asp. ecial elec- tion in 1977. It has affected only one council member, but was not cited publicly as a factor in his decision to not seek re-election. County supervisors are limited to three consecutive terms as a result of a voter approval of a 1978 ballot measure. The law became effec'dve in 1980 and could not come into play until at least 1992. It is in South San Francisco, which adopted a two-term limit by council action in 1972 and reaf- firmed it in 1981, that the law is being challenged. ~ Earlier this week, San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Thomas M. Jenkins rejected a law- suit meant to overturn the re-elec- tion of Councilwoman Roberta Teglia to a third consecutive term, Jenkins concluded that state law pre-empts the city from imposing additional qualification for office and ruled that the two-term limit is "invalid and unenforceable." Jenkins' ruling went no further than deciding the election chal- lenge, which was brought by three former South San Francisco coun- cilmen, two of whom voted to adopt the ordinance nearly 16 years ago. They have 60 days in which to appeal. Teglia, meanwhile, has brought a counter-suit against the city ask- ing for a court decree declaring the two-term limit to be unconsti- tutional and ordering the council here to repeal it. Regardless of the outcome, attorneys here say the lower court rulings are hardly precedent,set- ting. Appellate and state Supreme Court rulings are the standards in that regard. "Another superior court judge here or somewhere else could find just the opposite," observed Tom Casey, the county's newly- aPpointed county counsel. The weight of court precedents favor Teglia. In Jenkins' ruling, the chief precedent cited was a 1979 state Court of Appeals ruling overturn- ing a voter-initiated charter amendment limiting San DiegO. County supervisors to two con- secutive terms. Also in San Diego County, a court upheld the re-e- lection of a Vista city councilwo- man to a third term despite that city's two-term limit. .

"The only difference is that Mrs. Tegllh won. Mr Steinkamp lost .verY, verY badly," Halley said. Two-term 'Council Member Mark Addtego, who fac~s the same choices in two years, was quick to point out that SteinkAmp was exempt from the two-term limit at the time by vir- tue of his having b~en in office before the council of which he was a member voted it on the books. Meanwhile, former South ~an Francisco City Attorney Bob Rogers, now in private 'praCtice, said steinkamp damaged his Professlonal reputation when Stelnkamp alleged that ROgers told a third person that he was "coerced" in 1985 when he was asked whether the two-term limit was legal and valid.

Defendant had won reelection to a third term on the city council. (Superior Court of San Malco County, No. 324612, Thomas M. Jenkins, Judge.) The Court of Appeal affirmed. It held Goo. Code, §§ 36502 and 24001, relating respectively to eligibility of city and county elected officers, estab- lished that the I~gislature intends to preempt local regulation of eligibility for election to local governing bodies, whether they are charter counties or general law cities.

'¢ · CHANNELL, J.,~In 1987, defendant and cross-appellant Roberts Cerri Teglia won reelection to a third term on the South San Francisco City Council. A city ordinance limits councilmembers to two consecutive terms. Plaintiff and appellant Warren Steinkamp contested the election, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to invalidate her ¢ievtiun. (See Elco. Code, §§ 200g0-20116.) The trial court ruled that the ordinance was invalid as preempted by state law, but declined to award Teglia attorney fees. Stein- kamp appeals on the merits and Teglia cross-appeals on the denial of fees. We affirm the judgment. ' 7 NOV- 1-91FRI 14:58 LEG, uOUNSEL BUR, 445-3503 F Y, NO, 9 63246311 P, 04 ~ .

IA 210 Cal.ApP.3d 402; 258 CaI.Rptr. 265 [Apr. 1989] (la) In his appeal, Steinkamp contends that the ordinance is not preempted by state law. (2) A local ordinance is p~eempted by state law it' "the subject matter has been so fully., covered by general law as to clearly indicate that it has become exclusively a matter of state concern," or if "the subject matter has been partially covered by general law couched in such terms as to indicate. , . a paramount state concern will not tolerate further.., local action .... "(In re Hubbard (1964) 62 Cal.2d 119, 12'/- 128 [41 CaI.Rptr, 393, 396 P.2d 809], overruled on other grounds in Bishop v. City of San Jose (1969) I Cal.3d 56, 63 [81 Cal.Rptr, 465, 460 P.2d 137]; Sports Committee Dist. $7,4. M.,4., Inc. v. County of San Bernardino (1980) 113 Cal. App.3d 13~1, 159 [109 Cal. Kptr. 652].) South San Francisco's ordinance limits a person's eligibility for city coun- cil to two successive terms. Numerous Government Code provisions also affect eligibility for local offices in a general law city such as South San Francisco, (See Gov. Code, §§ 36501-36524,) State law provides that a person is not eligible to hold office as councilmember unless he or she is an elector at the time of assuming office and was a regis, tered voter of the city at the time nomination papers are issued to 'the candidate, (Id., § 36502.) (lb) We must determine whether, by this statute, the state Legislature has either fully occupied the field or so fully covered it as to indicate a paramount state concern. (In re Hubbard, supra, 62 Cal.2d at p. 127.) A similar statute relating to eligibility of county elected officers---Govern- ment Code section 24001--has been held to constitute evidence of the Legislature's intent to exercise statewide control over the qualifications of elected county officers. '(Younger v. Board of Superrisoe~ (I979) 93 Cal. App. 3d 864, 872 lIB5 Cal. Rptr. 921].) Steinkamp attempts to distin- guish this case because the local governmental entil~y in lounger was a chartered county and South San Francisco is a general law city. This dis- tinction is not pertinent in this case. The two statutes establish that the Legislature intends to preempt local regulation of eligibility for election to local governing bodies, whether they are charter counties or general law cities. . Steinkamp aisc contends the city is a distinct, individual entity and is not a political subdivision of the state. He is incorrect, ($) "[GJeneral law cities are simply creatures of the state and as such are parts of the machine- ry by which the state conducts its governmental affairs." (Williams v. City of San Carlos (1965) 233 CaI.App.2d 290, 295 [43 Cal. Rptr. 486]; se, I4'iltshire v. Superior Court (1955) 1'/2 Cal.App. 3d 296, 302 [218 Cal. Rptr.

(Williams, supra, at p. 295, itaEcs added; see 56 Opa. Cal.Atty.Gen. 327 (1973).) The trial court correctly found the city ordinance was preempted by state law. o v~ '. ' ~ ':.

Plaintiff is, and all times relevant herein was, a resident of the City of South San Francisco, County of San Mateo, State of California. Cross-Complainant has been duly elected to, and has held the office of, City councilwoman since 1978. Cross-Complainant was elected in the General Election held November 3, 1987, to a third term as City councilwoman, and was thereafter duly installed. 2. Cross-Defendant City of South San Francisco is a municipal corporation and a general law city. 3. On or about November 2, 1981, the City Council of South San Francisco adopted ordinance 881-81 codified in Chapter 2.16 of the South San Francisco Municipal Code. Said Ordinance purports to limit City Councilmembers from serving more than two successive elective terms after being elected to the City Council. 4. The instant election contest action was brought by Contestant Warren Steinkamp to contest the General Election held November 3, 1987. Said Contestant Warren Steinkamp claims that by virtue of Ordinance 881-81, Cross-Complainant is not eligible to hold a third term of office. The allegations and statements of said Amended Statement of Contest, attached hereto as Exhibit A, are incorporated herein by this reference in the instant cross-complaint solely for the purpose of showing the nature of the election contest, and for no other purpose, and Cross-Complainant does not hereby admit any of the allegations or statements as true or correct. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 5. A dispute has now arisen and exists between Cross-Complainant and Cross-Defendant concerning the validity of South San Francisco Ordinance 881-81. 6. Cross-Complainant desires a judicial determination as to the constitutionality, validity and enforceability of Ordinance 881-81. A judicial declaration is necessary and appropriate at this time in order that Cross-Complainant may ascertain her fundamental right and duty to hold the office to which she was duly elected by the voters of the City of South San Francisco. WHEREFORE, Cross-Complainant prays judgment as hereinafter set forth. SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF 7. Cross-Complainant realleges and incorporates herein by this reference Paragraphs 1 through 5 of the First Cause of Action. 8. Cross-Complainant has no adequate remedy at law, and the enforcement of Ordinance 881-81 will cause great and irreparable injury to Cross-Complainant in that enforcement of said Ordinance would result in Cross-Complainant's loss of her fundamental right to hold the office of City councilwoman for the City of South San Francisco to which she was duly elected. WHEREFORE, Cross-Complainant prays judgment as herein- after set forth. WHEREFORE, Cross-Complainant prays for judgment against Cross-Defendant as follows: 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1. For a declaration that City of South San Francisco Ordinance 881.81 is unconstitutional, invalid, unenforceable and void; 2. For a permanent injunction enjoining Cross-Defendant from enforcement of Ordinance 881-81. 3. For costs of suit and attorneys' fees herein; and 4. For such other and further relief as the Court deems proper.

ROBERTA CERRI TEGLIA, Defendant. ) ) ) ) T ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) NO. 324612 DECISION This matter comes before the Court for trial after contestant has filed his petition pursuant to Elections Code Section 20050 a~leging that defendant was not eligible for election to the South San Francisco City Council by reason of its Ordinance No. 881-81 which in section 2.16.020 provides: "A person elected to the Council shall be eligible to serve only two successive elective terms after being so elected." The parties have stipulated that the contestant is an elector qualified to file the petition contesting the election and that defendant is qualified for the office of Council other than for such Ordinance. The issue in this case is whether or not the City by its ordinance may -1- add qualifications to the requirements for eligibility to office, in addition to those set out by the legislature in Government Code Section 36502 which provides: "A person is not eligible to hold office as Councilman... unless he is at the time of assuming such office an elector of the City and was a registered voter of the City at the time nomination papers are issued to the candidate ..." 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Contestant contends that the ordinance must be presumed valid and that 8 the State has not pre-empted the field. In particular he argues that this is 9 not an exclusive matter of State concern and that a reasonable restriction on 10 the statewide legislation is appropriate within the definitions of Municipal 11 affai rs or pol ice powers. Contestant to the contrary argues that 12 qualifications and eligibility for the office of City Councilmember is pre- 13 empted by the Government Code Section 36502, is in conflict with that general 14 law, is outside of the police power, and not part of the exclusive 15 comprehensive statutory scheme set up in the Government Code. 16 FINDINGS 17 The Court starts with its inquiry with the question as to whether or 18 not the limitation on terms is in fact a restriction on "qualifications" for 19 office. The case of Younger vs. Board of Supervisors (1979) 93 Cal. App. 3d 20 864 clearly determines that answer with a specific conclusion that it is an 21 additional qualification for candidacy. 22 The issue then comes initially, has the State occupied the field? 23 Contestant spent much time on the question of reasonable restrictions. In the 24 abstract, the restrictions in this case may be reasonable and in fact salutary, 25 but if the legislature has in fact pre-empted the field, then such arguments 26 must be addressed to it. This Court finds such pre-emption has occurred. 27 South San Francisco is a general law city. With respect to elections 28 in such cities, the legislature has comprehensively dealt with the subject. It -2- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ].2 ].3 ].4 ].5 ].6 ].7 ]8 ].9 2O 2]. 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 has set out in detail a Government Code statutory scheme as noted in opinions of the Attorney General 56 at page 328, "The legislature has fully occupied the field in this area. Municipal elections are state affairs and the legislature has control over the method of election and the terms of municipal officers." Although cities may adopt regulatory and restrictive ordinances, this is not one which falls in the category of being within the police power (Rose vs. State of California 19 Cal.2d 713). It must also fall when the Court determines the predominance or superiority as between the general state laws on the one hand and local regulations on the other. (Bishop vs. City of San Jose 1 Cal.3d 56 at 62) In light of the foregoing, the Court finds it unnecessary to reach conclusions as to constitutionality under either the First or Fourteenth Amendments, or under the "Excess of Authority" concept enunciated in Younger vs. Board of Supervisors supra. CONCLUSION The Court therefore concludes that Ordinance No. 881 of the City of South San Francisco is invalid and unenforceable, and that defendant Roberta Cerri Teglia was duly qualified, elected and sworn into office as a Councilperson of the City of South San Francisco on November 22, 1~87. In accordance with the provisions of Elections Code Section 20086, judgment shall be entered in accordance with the foregoing. Each party shall bear their own attorneys' fees.
