Council introduces ordinance to establish city election procedures, schedules second reading
Summary
Temple City Council introduced Ordinance 25-1083 for first reading to establish procedures for standalone city elections (voting locations, early voting, precinct consolidations, auditing/reporting) and scheduled a second reading for Sept. 16, 2025.
City staff asked the council on Sept. 2 to introduce Ordinance 25-1083 by title only to establish election procedures for standalone Temple City municipal elections, addressing topics such as election model, voting locations, early voting, precinct consolidations, auditing and reporting.
A council member moved to introduce the ordinance for first reading and to waive further reading; the motion passed on a unanimous roll-call vote. The council scheduled a second reading of Ordinance 25-1083 for Sept. 16, 2025.
The item was presented as a procedural measure; staff described it as the standard step to set local procedures when the city holds a standalone election rather than consolidating with county or statewide contests. No public speakers addressed the ordinance during the meeting.
Roll call: Council member Chavez — yes; Council member Chen — yes; Council member Yu — yes; Mayor Proen Man — yes; Mayor Sternquist — yes.
Next step: the council will consider the ordinance at the Sept. 16 meeting for second reading and potential adoption.
