§ 27 Qualifications of members.

Each member of the council or candidate therefor, other than for the office of mayor, at the date of candidacy and election or appointment, shall be an elector and a resident in such member's council district for not less than 30 days preceding the date of candidacy and election or appointment, as the case may be, and must continue to reside in such council district during the term of office, except that no boundary change under Article XII shall disqualify a member from serving the remainder of the term. The term "elector" means a person who qualifies to vote at either a state election or federal election held in the State of California. "Date of candidacy" means the date of filing nominating papers or equivalent declaration of candidacy. (Amended by Res. 2016-0258, 7/26/16)
