Oakland voters will have the chance next month to vote on term limits for city councilmembers, among several other changes to city government.
The measure also allows voters to decide whether to prohibit certain political activities by the city attorney and city auditor, the process for filing the city auditor's position if it becomes vacant and the minimum staffing level for the city auditor's office.
"As the City of Oakland grows in size and complexity, we must modernize our government," proponents of the measure said in their ballot argument."This can be done in part by making changes to our city Charter." Measure X makes changes that allow city officials"to meet the needs of our city in a more democratic, accountable, transparent and equitable manner," proponents wrote in their argument.
Oakland City Councilmember Dan Kalb has signaled his support for the measure. No one submitted an argument opposing Measure X.
