NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Oshkosh that Jef Hall is hereby appointed to fill the remaining term of Council Member Tower, which will expire in April of 2011. ( 0 OfHKOlH ON THE WATER MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Lynn A. Lorenson, City Attorney DATE: May 18, 2011 RE: Qualifications of Council Candidates At next Tuesday's meeting, the Council will consider applications for the council seat vacated when Council Member Tower was elected Mayor. In making that appointment, the Council should consider the qualifications required for membership on the City Council. Section 62.11(3) of the Wisconsin Statutes states that the Council itself shall be the judge of the election and qualification of its members. Previous councils have developed the qualifications of its members, and as a result the Oshkosh Municipal Code, Section 2 -2(B), states that "[a]ny person possessing the qualifications of an elector in the City of Oshkosh shall be eligible to election as Mayor or as a Council Member." The general qualifications of electors is set forth in Chapter 6 of the Wisconsin Statutes. Section 6.02 states simply that an elector is anyone who is a U.S. citizen, age 18 or older, who has resided within the election district for 10 days before any election. The general qualifications of electors are limited only by the following circumstances set forth in Section 6.03, Wisconsin Statutes, which disqualify a person from being an elector: a) any person who has been adjudicated as being incapable of understanding the objective of the elective process or who is under guardianship; or b) any person convicted of treason, felony or bribery, unless the person's right to vote has otherwise been restored; or c) any person who has made or become interested, directly or indirectly, in any bet or wager regarding the result of the election. Any person who meets the above qualifications, and is not subject to any of the disqualifications listed, may be legally considered for the vacant council seat. While the only actual disqualifications for the council seat are those listed above, as a practical matter, candidates for the vacant position will have different backgrounds and experiences which Council members may believe are either positive or negative in relation to determining the best candidate for the vacant council seat. It is up to the Council to weigh those characteristics in making the determination as to who may be best to fill the vacancy. As always, the Council should not consider any information which may be discriminatory in any manner or act in any unreasonable or arbitrary manner in making this decision.
