Alameda written contracts proposal, Measure R, 2008

From Ballotpedia

A City of Alameda Written Contracts Proposal, Measure R, was on the November 4, 2008 ballot in Alameda County for voters in the City of Alameda.

Measure R sought to implement a system whereby any vendor contract the city enters into must be in writing, and the city isn't bound by a contractual obligation unless it is in writing.

Measure R was approved with 82.45% of the vote.

The ballot language was:

"Shall the Charter of the City of Alameda be amended to provide that every contract shall be in writing and that the City shall not be bound by any contract unless it complies with the Charter? Such amendment will be accomplished by adding Section 22- 13 of said Charter, as fully set forth in Resolution No. 14250 of the Council of the City of Alameda."
