Finding F3
The conditions of California Government Code § 36513(a) having been met, the seat on the Yreka City Council became vacant by operation of law no later than December 3, 2024. The cancellation of the November 5, 2024 regular meeting does not alter Yreka’s established twice-monthly meeting frequency for purposes of code 36513 and does not trigger the 70-day threshold of code 36153(b). The April 1, 2025 Council vote to retroactively excuse the October 15, 2024 absence was of uncertain legal effect and does not clearly cure a vacancy that had already occurred by operation of law.
