7     The parties also dispute whether each Rental Board
position is a separate “office” for purposes of article I, section 22,
with petitioners arguing certain individuals are barred from
occupying seven separate offices on the Rental Board and
respondents contending every City resident may serve on the
Rental Board, which constitutes a single, indivisible office
notwithstanding the different membership conditions for its
11 positions. We need not resolve this particular dispute because
even presuming petitioners are correct that the positions are
separate offices, we conclude the constitutional provision is not
violated here.
       Given that conclusion, we also need not address
respondents’ suggestion that the Rental Board is a limited-
purpose board or commission to which article I, section 22 does
not apply. (See Greene v. Marin County Flood Control & Water
Conservation Dist. (2010) 49 Cal.4th 277, 297, fn. 8 [property
qualification provision does not apply to “fee and assessment
elections conducted by limited purpose government agencies that
disproportionately affect certain property owners”].)
