Two four-year terms on the Roseville City Council were open on the November 6 ballot due to term limits. The current vote totals can be found here on the Placer County Elections Office webpage.
The City’s charter specifies how the next mayor is determined. The candidate receiving the most votes will become the next vice mayor for the first two years of their term before becoming mayor for the last two. The new councilmembers will be sworn-in at 5 p.m., December 10 in City Council Chambers, 311 Vernon St.
Vice Mayor Bonnie Gore will be sworn in as mayor at that time as well. Gore received the most votes in the 2016 Council election.
In June 2018, Vice Mayor Gore won a seat on the Placer County Board of Supervisors. She will be sworn-in as supervisor on January 8. Once she resigns her seat as mayor to be sworn in as county supervisor, the Council has 30 days to fill the vacant Council position.
The City’s charter has no set procedure to fill a vacant position on the City Council. The remaining members of the City Council will determine the process to fill the vacancy. In the past, councils have appointed a community member to the vacant position. Once the Council position is filled, the Council will vote on which councilmember will represent the city as its mayor in 2019 and 2020.
