Case #6: Charter Commission City Administrator Schroeder stated that the City has received a petition to amend the Charter. Pursuant to State law, the Charter Commission received the petition and forwarded it to the Council. The Council must then hold an election on the petition within 90 days of receipt. At this point, we are not certain which day represents your receipt for purposes of the election (May 23, June 1 or June 13). That being the case, we are assuming 90 days from the earliest date, or August 21, 1995. Council must, by resolution, schedule the election at least 30 days prior to and provide for published notice thereof. He explained that Council also has the opportunity to negotiate alternative language with the circulating committee prior to the election. He informed Council that they may also pass upon the requested language to avoid the election. The City's bond counsel, Mr. David Kennedy and also the Charter Commission Chair Mr. Bernie Stephen have questioned the constitutionality of the petitioned language. Council may also wish to pursue a finding in this regard. Mr. Schroeder continued that August 15 has been suggested by Staff as the date of the election and staff has also verified receipt of 293 certified signatures. He stated that no action is necessary at this time.
