HIGASHI: Because if a person runs for a single member district and then <br />• chooses to run in an at -large district, that wouldn't prevent him from running for <br />another office, or another seat. Is that kind of a true scenario? <br />• <br />BESS: That's right. <br />MARTIN: Well, I don't know. If the wording is consecutive, no matter how <br />you come up with it, once you do eight years, you can't go no more. <br />IRVINE: Yes, but if you're running for one office, you can obviously run for <br />another, and at -large would be another office. <br />RAY: Let's ask our attorney to explore that because that's obviously <br />something that somebody's going to think of and it's going to come up. <br />HIGASHI: So the consensus is not to dispose of this item at this point, but to <br />continue to investigate the term limit issue? <br />RAY: That's fine with me. <br />BESS: Let's table it. I was going to move to table it. <br />HERKES: Second it. <br />MARTIN: If anybody has an idea if they want to move it from two years, four <br />years, whatever the case may be, the scenario is open, I believe, but the term limit is <br />the key issue. Like you say, Roland, is it going to be eight years or what's it going to <br />be? <br />IRVINE: It's going to be left just like it is when it goes to the vote. <br />MARTIN: You sure? Positive? <br />IRVINE: Yes. <br />MARTIN: You a gambling person? <br />RAY: Let's table this for now. I don't think we have anything firm, ready <br />to vote on, or go on the table. Steve. <br />BESS: I don't know what the next item is, whether we're going to <br />Department of Permitting .or not, but I would suggest that we return to the County <br />Manager. Although we voted that down, while the arguments are fresh in our mind, and <br />the issues are fresh in our mind, that we return to trying to beef up the Managing <br />Director's position, if that's appropriate. <br />22 <br />
