2.02.100 By-district elections.
A. City Council; Mayor. The elective officers of the city shall constitute a city council consisting of four members elected by district at the times and in the manner provided in this chapter, in a sequence to be determined by ordinance or resolution, and a directly elected mayor, each of whom shall serve a term of four years and until their respective successors qualify.
B. Residency in Districts. Except for the directly elected mayor, each member of the city council must be and remain a resident of the council district from which the member is nominated at least 30 days prior to the time the member is nominated, elected, and throughout that member’s term of office. In the event any member of the city council ceases to be a resident of the district from which the member was nominated and elected or, in the case of an appointee, the member ceases to be a resident of the district the member was appointed to represent, the office shall immediately become vacant and shall be filled in the manner provided by Section 36512 of the Government Code, as may be amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the above, if a member of the city council ceases to be a resident of the district solely because of a change in the boundaries as provided herein, the member shall not lose office during that term by reason of such change. The mayor may reside in any district within the city and shall be elected by the voters city-wide; however, the mayor must be and remain a resident of the city at least 30 days prior to the time the mayor is nominated, elected, and throughout the mayor’s term of office. All members of the city council must abide by the proof of residency requirements set forth in Sections 2.02.110 through 2.02.150 of the Upland Municipal Code.
C. Council Districts. The city is hereby divided into four districts, as set forth herein. Candidates for council seats in each district shall be nominated and elected only by the voters of that district and shall reside in that district.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, and pursuant to California Elections Code Sections 21606(a) and (b), each of the council members currently in office at the time the ordinance codified in this section takes effect shall continue in office until the expiration of the full term to which he or she was regularly elected or appointed. Any vacancy in or recall election for a council term currently in effect shall be filled based on the council districts in effect at the time the current council term was last regularly elected.
E. Changes in Boundaries. The boundaries of said city council districts, but not the number thereof, may be changed by ordinance adopted by the city council by three-fifths vote of all its members; provided that districts established by the city council shall be as nearly equal in population and as geographically compact as possible. Boundaries shall be evaluated and adjusted, if necessary, before the first day of November of the year following the year in which each decennial census is taken, and as provided in Elections Code Sections 21601, 21602 and 21607. However, the city council shall not change the boundaries of districts more than once in any two-year period and no such change shall be made within the period of 180 days preceding a general municipal election. The preceding limitations shall not apply to changes made necessary by changes to city boundaries. After city council has exercised its power to change the boundaries of districts, these changes shall immediately be reflected in the district boundaries specified by ordinance adopted by city council.
F. Current Officeholders. The five members of the city council in office at the time this section takes effect shall continue in office until their terms expire. (Ord. 1958 § 2, 2022; Ord. 1954 § 2, 2021; Ord. 1909 § 3, 2016)
