As of the filing deadline for City of San Rafael elected official candidates, only incumbents filed for the seats up for re-election. In this case, the Election Code allows for nominating and appointing incumbents should the City Council wish not to hold an election. An election of this nature would cost from $180,000 to $230,000. On Monday evening, the City Council will consider appointing the incumbents and cancelling the San Rafael general municipal election on November 7. READ THE STAFF REPORT
