The Beverly Hills City Council took up the question of term limits for council members and the treasurer at the Jan. 26 Study Session, voting to place the matter on the November 2021 ballot. The Council addressed the topic after requests to do so by two former Mayors. The proposal would restrict council members and the treasurer to three terms, including the existing council members and treasurer.
“What was being suggested is that we ask the residents if they support term limits in our election. I think that’s reasonable; I think the voters should decide,” said Councilmember Dr. Julian Gold. “I do think that, in the end, it offers an opportunity for others to serve.”
