To effect that policy, the initial terms of office during the transition period shall be determined as follows: A. District I shall not be subject to election in 1992. The initial term of office for the council member in District 1 shall be two years and shall expire in 1994, concurrently with expiration of the term of office of the current incumbent council member in that district. B. District 2 shall be subject to election in 1992. The initial term of office of District 2 be two years and shall expire in 1994, and any incumbent council member who resides in District 2 may elect to run for election by District 2 in the election to be held in November of 1992. C. The incumbent council member in District 2 whose current term expires in 1994, shall elect, immediately following final adoption of this chapter, either (1) to become a candidate for Council to be elected by District 2 for the initial term of two years and if not elected to terminate his current term of office; or (2) to fill out his current term by representing another district, selected by lot, within the City. D. In the event that the incumbent Council member in District 2 whose term expires in 1994 elects to fulfill the unexpired remainder of his term of office by representing another district, selected by lot, that district shall not be subject to election in 1992 and the term of office for that district shall expire in 1994, concurrently with the expiration of that incumbent's term of office. E. All other districts not otherwise addressed in this section, shall be subject to election in 1992 and the initial term of office for those districts shall be four years terminating in 1996, unless the incumbent councilmember in District 2 whose term expires in 1994 elects to stand for election to the initial two year term commencing in 1992. In that case, the initial term of office for one other district shall be determined by lot to be a two year term expiring in 1994, so that a total of three districts shall have initial terms expiring in 1994 and three districts have initial terms expiring in 1996. Thereafter, all districts shall have council member terms of four years. -3- JHB87210
