The Supreme Court of the State of California, has ruled that

his nomination papers.
For that reason, it is recommended that this Charter Amendment
be adopted to bring the City's Charter in conformance with the
announced law of the State as set forth by our Supreme Court.

"Section 501. Eligibility. No person shall be eligible to
hold office as a member of the City Council unless he is and
shall have been a resident and qualified elector of the City
for at least two years next preceding the date of his election
or appointment and a resident of the district from which he is
