Summary

Existing law sets forth the required officers for each general law city, including a city council of at least 5 members, a city clerk, a city treasurer, a chief of police, a fire chief, and any subordinate officers or employees provided by law. This bill would require the city council of each city, on or before January 1, 2013, to adopt minimal educational and certification standards for city clerks, city managers, and city treasurers, whether elected or appointed, and to post those standards on the city's Internet Web site, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
