If passed, Measure X on the November ballot would prohibit Oakland city councilmembers from serving more than three consecutive terms
Measure X also proposes changes to the number of hearings required before the City Council can place a measure on the ballot, the way adjustments are made to councilmembers' salaries, the procedure for breaking a tie vote on the council and the way salaries are set for the city attorney and city auditor.
The measure also allows voters to decide whether to prohibit certain political activities by the city attorney and city auditor, the process for filing the city auditor's position if it becomes vacant and the minimum staffing level for the city auditor's office. "As the City of Oakland grows in size and complexity, we must modernize our government," proponents of the measure said in their ballot argument. "This can be done in part by making changes to our city Charter."
Measure X makes changes that allow city officials "to meet the needs of our city in a more democratic, accountable, transparent and equitable manner," proponents wrote in their argument. Oakland City Councilmember Dan Kalb has signaled his support for the measure. No one submitted an argument opposing Measure X.
