COUNCILMEMBER REPORTS AND COMMENTS  
Councilmember Maxwell Reports and Comments: Congratulated  
Councilmembers Chavez and Bredefeld for victories in the Fresno County  
Board of Supervisors race. Emphasized his confidence in the abilities of the  
departing Councilmembers to help facilitate agreements that benefit  
constituents in both the City and County.  
Councilmember Arias Reports and Comments: Congratulated  
President-elect Trump, Supervisor-elect Bredefeld, and Supervisor-elect  
Chavez. Called for equitable treatment of all county employees, particularly  
those caring for vulnerable groups, not just law enforcement. Emphasized  
the need for a fairer tax-sharing agreement between Fresno City and Fresno  
County.  
Vice President Karbassi Reports and Comments: Congratulated  
Councilmembers and Supervisors-elect Chavez and Bredefeld on their hard  
fought and decisive election victories.  
Council President Perea Reports and Comments: Congratulated  
Councilmembers Chavez and Bredefeld on their election victories and  
acknowledged the accomplishments and meaningful legislation they passed  
while serving the people of Fresno. Invited District 1 residents to contact  
her office with concerns about the neighborhood or to arrange neighborhood  
meetings. Asked the City Clerk to provide a brief overview about how the  
vacancy left by Councilmember Chavez would be handled.  
MAYOR/MANAGER REPORTS AND COMMENTS  
Mayor Dyer Reports and Comments: Congratulated Councilmembers  
Bredefeld and Chavez on the election and expressed optimism for enhanced  
city-county collaboration. Announced a successful operation by the  
Homeless Assistance Response Team and various partners to provide  
shelter for 42 homeless individuals previously living around Santa Clara and  
"G" streets. Discussed a recent Beautify Fresno Event for Youth Services  
Day which saw more than 900 participants from 25 schools. Discussed the  
first foster youth home development and first modular home development in  
the City of Fresno and the impacts they are expected to have.  
Assistant City Manager Miller Reports and Comments: Announced the  
Annual Local Hire Summary Report had been distributed to the  
Councilmembers. Announced it was National Animal Center Week and  
acknowledged the hard work, dedication and vital roles played by Fresno  
Animal Center staff, volunteers, and the foster caregivers who ensure  
positive outcomes for animals in their care.  
CITY CLERK AND CITY ATTORNEY REPORTS AND COMMENTS  
City Clerk Stermer Reports and Comments: Briefly explained how the  
vacancy left by Councilmember Chavez would be handled. Councilmember  
Chavez may resign prior to serving on the Board of Supervisors or his term  
will be forfeit upon being sworn into the new position. Council must declare  
the vacancy and by resolution call a special election to fill the seat. The  
Charter for the City of Fresno (Charter) requires the special election be held  
no sooner than 90 days after the vacancy is declared. A Notice of Election  
will need to be published no later than 113 days before the election. Early  
May would be the soonest the election could be held depending on when the  
seat becomes vacant. Council can not appoint an interim Councilmember  
because the Charter only allows that if the seat becomes vacant in the last  
year of the term. If the special election does not result in a majority vote for  
one candidate Council would, within 30 days, call another special election  
between the two candidates that received the most votes. Given the  
timelines, the soonest the vacancy could be filled would be sometime in May  
2025. Following the vacancy, Council will consist of six members until the  
special election results are finalized. An overview of the process will be  
posted to the City Clerk and City Attorney's websites.
