This section is enacted pursuant to authority contained in Cal. Gov't Code § 36503.5, and all procedures established by such law shall be followed so as to implement the provisions of this section.
('66 Code, § 2-1.301) (Ord. 541-C-S, passed 1-11-83)

(Ord. 2088-C-S, passed 6-24-14)
(A) Pursuant to Cal. Gov’t Code § 34886, Members of the City Council of the city shall be elected by-district in four single-member districts.
(1) Members of the City Council shall be elected in the electoral districts established by division (B) of this section and subsequently reapportioned as provided by state law. Elections shall take place "by district" as that term is defined in Cal. Gov’t Code § 34871, meaning one Councilmember shall be elected from each district, by the voters of that district alone.
(2) A Councilmember elected or appointed to represent a district must reside in that district and be a registered voter in that district, and any candidate for City Council must reside in, and be a registered voter in, the district in which he or she seeks election at the time nomination papers are issued.
(B) All four Councilmembers shall be elected on a "by-district" basis from the Council districts shown and numbered on a map titled "City of Antioch District Map," as adopted by Res. 2018/54, a copy of which shall be on file in the City Clerk's office.
(C) Pursuant to Cal. Elections Code § 21601, as it may be amended from time to time, the City Council shall adjust the boundaries of any or all of the districts following each decennial federal census to ensure that the districts are in compliance with all applicable provisions of law.
(D) District elections enacted in accordance with this section shall commence in the November 2020 General election. In the November 2020 General Election, Districts 1 and 4, as shown in the "City of Antioch District Map," will have initial terms of two years, and both districts shall again be open for election in the November 2022 General Election, at and following which election they shall have four year terms. Beginning in the November 2020 General Elections and thereafter, Districts 2 and 3, as shown in the "City of Antioch District Map," shall have four year terms.
(E) Notwithstanding Cal. Gov’t Code § 34873, and to ensure the orderly transition away from the at-large election system for City Councilmember that exists at the time of this section's adoption, the two City Council positions open for election in the November 2018 General Election shall have two year terms and because of this reduced term of office, no Councilmember elected in the November 2018 General Election shall have any right or claim under Cal. Gov’t Code § 34873 to any term of office longer than two years.
