This forum allows the candidates to each provide a two-minute opening statement. They will then each have a minute and a half to answer each question posed by the moderator. At the end of the questioning period, the candidates will be able to present a one-minute closing statement. The moderator for this forum is Kathleen Cha, a member of LWVO and immediate past president of LWVBA.
About the City Council:
Members of the Piedmont City Council are elected volunteers who serve their community without compensation. Under the City Charter, a councilmember may be elected for no more than two consecutive four-year terms of office. However, after two full terms have elapsed (8 years), Councilmembers may again run for office.
The Piedmont City Charter establishes a City Council - City Administrator form of government. Under this form of government, the Piedmont City council is the legislative body responsible for setting City policy. The five Council members are elected at-large by the Piedmont electorate.
The City Administrator advises and makes recommendations to the City Council concerning any conditions or situations that require Council direction or policy determination and prepares the recommended budget for consideration and adoption by the City Council.
Please submit your questions for the candidates below. Questions may be submitted up to September 24th, one week prior to the forum. Questions submitted will be screened by a team from the League to ensure a range of topics and issues.
