Pursuant to Government Code § 36502(b), term limits are imposed upon persons serving on the City Council as follows:

(B) As used herein, a term of office shall include any term as City Council Member which commences on or after November 3, 2020, whether by election or appointment, and which lasts for two (2) years and one (1) day or more. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person who resigns their office as a City Council Member shall be deemed to have served a full term of office regardless of when during their term of office their resignation becomes effective.
(C) If a person is ineligible to hold office as a City Council Member pursuant to this section, the City Clerk must reject, refuse to accept for filing, and otherwise refuse to process any nominating papers or other equivalent declaration of candidacy that is required or authorized by law for that person, including, without limitation, as a write-in candidate.
(D) As provided for in section (B) above, this section applies prospectively only, meaning that only terms of office commencing on or after November 3, 2020 shall be counted towards the term limit calculation.
(E) The City Council may, by majority vote of its membership, make non-substantive revisions to this Section 2.08.180 in order to implement its substantive provisions, provided that such revisions are consistent with and further the purposes and intent of the voters in approving the ordinance which adopted this section.
