RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommend the City Council adopt the Resolution calling for the Alameda County Registrar of Voters to Tabulate and Report the Results of the November 3, 2026 City of San Leandro General Municipal Election for City Council Districts 1, 2, 3, and 5 in accordance with a district-based election system as required by Measure F.
