August 1, 2018 -- Santa Monica voters will decide the fate of four ballot measures November 6 -- ranging from changes in requirements to serve on boards and commissions to a record bond for the School District.

Three of the four measure were placed on the ballot last week -- two by the City Council and one by the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) Board.

The first measure to make the ballot (approved on June 26) requires a super-majority vote for developments that exceed zoning limits and for changes to the Land Use and Circulation Element (LUCE) and zoning code

Last week, the Council voted to place a measure on the ballot that amends the City Charter to allow non-citizens to sit on three City boards and commissions. The measure would change the eligibility requirements for service on the Library Board, Personnel Board and Airport Commission

At the meeting July 24, the Council also grudgingly placed a measure on the ballot that would limit Council members to three terms “whether consecutive or not”

One of the biggest measures before Santa Monica voters November 6 is whether to approve a $485 million bond to upgrade and replace outdated facilities in Santa Monica schools
