The Dublin Metropolis Council positioned on Tuesday’s poll a measure that features good authorities reforms and a term-limit extension.

Too dangerous they couldn’t be forthcoming with voters concerning the term-limit part. Voters ought to reject Measure JJ. The council ought to attempt once more within the subsequent election — however be up entrance with the voters.

The measure’s provisions embrace prohibitions on councilmembers accepting presents from metropolis contractors or lobbyists, and on lobbyists sitting on metropolis commissions. It could require town to put up on its web site month-to-month monetary studies and most metropolis contracts earlier than the council acts on them. All good things — though it’s not clear {that a} poll measure was wanted to implement them.

After which there’s the term-limit provision, described within the poll wording as “impos(ing) a combined term limit of 12 years for the Mayor and/or City Councilmembers, while retaining existing term limits for the current Mayor and City Councilmembers.”

What it fails to clarify is that this might be a rise in how lengthy somebody may function the elected mayor or councilmember, from eight consecutive years to 12 consecutive years.

The concept is sweet. And the councilmembers deserve kudos for not making use of the rise to themselves, not like, say, the self-serving and misleading transfer in 2022 by the Santa Clara Valley Water District board to persuade voters to approve an identical measure.

Sadly, for all the federal government integrity intentions, the Dublin council, in drafting the measure, didn’t stroll the discuss by offering a clear poll measure.
