Question 20: Ethics & Accountability

Official ballot wording

Should the Charter make a Councilmember, the Mayor, or the Prosecuting Attorney ineligible for election to any City office for two years if impeached, or if the official resigns after an impeachment petition has been filed, consistent with the provision for being recalled from office?

Official explanation

Present situation: Currently, a Councilmember, the Mayor, and the Prosecuting Attorney may still be elected or appointed to any other City office with no restrictions even if they have been removed from office pursuant to impeachment proceedings, or if they resign after an impeachment petition has been filed. If proposal passes: A Councilmember, Mayor, or Prosecuting Attorney who is impeached, or who resigns after an impeachment petition is filed, could not be elected or appointed to any City office for two years. This would make the restriction similar to the one that already applies to elected officials removed through a recall election.
