Recommendation R3
(to the Yreka City Council and City Manager): If the Council declines to declare the vacancy, the Council should retain independent outside counsel — not currently employed by the City — to opine on (a) whether a vacancy occurred under § 36513(a), and (b) the validity of retroactive excused absences under California law, and should make that opinion publicly available.
