The authority of general , law cities has diminished as,a result of increasing State mandates and involve- ment in local matters. In order to reclaim the local autonomy sought through incorporation and to preserve the right of the people to present grievances to the most responsive level of government, we, the citizens of San Ramon, enact. this Charter. ARTICLE I Acceptance of Home Rule Except as restricted by this Charter, the City shall have all powers allowable under the Constitution of the State of California to adopt ordinances, establish rules, grant franchises, structure City government, and in every way to govern the municipal affairs of the City. Municipal affairs encompass all matters of local concern as determined by the City Council consistent with the meaning of "municipal affairs" under the constitutional, statutory, and judicially defined law of the State of California. Nothing in this Charter is intended to restrict the City in exercising any right, power or authority granted under the general laws of the State of California. However, the provisions of this Charter shall prevail in the event of any conflict with general law. ARTICLE II Structure of City Government The City shall continue to be governed by a Council of five members., elected at large. The City Council shall appoint a City Manager and a City Attorney. The City Manager, as the chief administrative officer of the City, shall appoint all department heads other than the City Attorney. Involvement in administrative matters by the Council or by any individual Councilmember shall occur only by direction of the City Manager. ARTICLE III Selection of Mayor The Mayor shall be selected annually from among the members of the City Council and shall serve as Mayor for a period of one year. The City Council, by ordinance, shall establish a selection process based upon rotation with the objective that no Councilmember serve as Mayor more than once during any term to which the Councilmember has been elected or appointed. No Councilmember shall be denied selection as Mayor if otherwise entitled under the adopted rotation system. ARTICLE IV Public Contracting The City Council, by ordinance, shall establish the procedures, including any competitive bidding requirements, to be followed by the City in awarding public contracts of any nature, including those for construction of public works. - ; ARTICLE V Continuation of Existing Law =- All ordinances, resolutions, rules and regulations of the City in effect as of the effective date of this Charter shall continue in effect until repealed or amended.
