The election department also listed 2 city-wide measures for Plymouth, which will decide “Measure O” (whether or not to raise the city Transient Occupancy Tax by 4 percent), and “Measure P,” which is a non-binding advisory to allow voters to say how they want the funding to be used. Plymouth’s Measure O asks: “Shall City of Plymouth ordinance number 2010-02 increasing the transient occupancy tax to 10 percent of the rent charged by hotel operators within the city limits, with tax revenue to be used for general municipal purposes, be approved?” Measure P asks Plymouth voters if 2 percent of the revenue from the increase in the (tax) should “be used for streets, parking and landscaping, and the remaining 2 percent for tourism including promotions, events, signage, advertising and other related expenses.” Election supervisor Debbie Smith on Thursday released the “randomized alphabet drawing,” which determined the order that the names will be listed on the ballot in each race. Secretary of State Debra Bowen made the drawing August 12th, a day after declaration extension periods closed. Ione City Council has 6 candidates for 3 council seats. Using the randomized alphabet drawing, the order from 1st to 6th on the ballot is Lloyd Oneto, Daniel Epperson, Ron Smylie, Jerry Sherman, Lee Ard and James Ulm. The top 3 finishers in vote counts win the open seats. The ballot order for Plymouth City Council candidates is Sandy Kyle, Sean McGinnis, and Peter Amoruso, who will vie for 2 vacant seats. Sutter Creek City Council also has 2 seats up for election, and candidates in the order that they will be listed on the ballots are Linda Rianda, Bart Weatherly, Jim Swift and Ed Arata. The Amador Water Agency board of directors has 3 seats up for grabs, with 2 vying for District 1, and will be listed on the ballot in order as Bill Condrashoff and Paul Molinelli, Sr. District 4’s order on the ballot will be Robert Manassero, followed by Debbie Dunn; and in District 5, the random draw order is Arthur Toy, Dale Turner, and John J. Asmus. Of the 20 candidates, 10 submitted candidate statements which will be contained on the ballots.
