Terms of Office for Elected Officials:
At its regular meeting of March 14, 2017, the San Anselmo Town Council adopted Ordinance No. 1116, which moves the Town’s municipal elections from November of odd-numbered years to November of even-numbered years. The change will be phased in by electing Town officers for 3-year terms during the next two election cycles and returning to 4-year terms in the November 2020 election. Accordingly, Town Council members, the Town Clerk and the Town Treasurer elected in the general municipal elections on November 5, 2019, will serve 3-year terms.
As required by state law, the Marin County Board of Supervisors approved the Town’s change of election date at its meeting of April 25, 2017. (Cal. Elect. Code § 10403.5).
