POINT OF INQUIRY


      Senator Hochstatter: “Senator Gardner, my understanding is--and I hate to have understanding yield to passion--but my understanding is that there are two elections. There is the election to decide to go to the strong mayor plan and in that decision to change, is that when the mayor is elected and then there is a two year wait--could you run through, maybe, an example to help me understand this?”

      Senator Gardner: “Certainly, thank you. This came up, because this just happened in Ferndale in Whatcom County. In Ferndale, they decided they did not want a city manager, they wanted an elected mayor. In making that change, they also terminated all seven of their city council members, so that by electing to change their form of government, in effect, they put everybody out of office. The entire city government ceased to exist and they then had to run for office. They not only had to hold the general election, but they also had to hold the primary election. So, they held the primary election to change the form of government, then they held a primary election, then they held a general election.

      “It was pretty expensive and not really the intent of just changing the government. It caught up the council members unintentionally. The two years has to do with the process by which you change governments. You have a petition, it is brought in and certified, an election is held on whether or not to change the form of government. If that election fails, the proponents can go out again, get another petition, have it certified and six months later require another election. It just becomes expensive and onerous and we felt that a two year interval, as is in statute for other purposes, made more sense.”
