An action in quo warranto is the exclusive means to invalidate a ballot initiative that was passed in violation of the MMBA’s meet-and-confer requirement. (See Boling v. Public Employment Relations Bd. (2019) 33 Cal.App.5th 376, 384-386.) But when the order does not remedy a procedural irregularity in the legislative process that resulted in the enactment of any portions of the City Charter, quo warranto would not be available to remedy the violations alleged in this case. Where a local ordinance conflicts with the MMBA, it is void or invalid. (See LA County, supra, 160 Cal.App.3d at p. 908; see also Huntington Beach Police Officers’ Assn. v. City of Huntington Beach, supra, 58 Cal.App.3d at p. 503.)
