Section 4.4 Special and Advisory Elections Except for Elected Office. The council may by resolution <br />order any special or advisory election deemed appropriate by the council, for any reason, and provide all means for <br />holding it. <br />The City has presented both kinds of questions in the past. Attached to this case is an example of the ballot from <br />November 2001, which included both types of questions. Also, for your information, the Canvassing Board <br />material for that election is included as well. <br />Timeframe: <br />It is likely that tonight's work session may not allow enough time for a full discussion of this report. If that is the <br />situation, staff is recommending that the Council refer this report to the Public Works Committee at their regular <br />meeting of June 18 to continue discussion. <br />Funding Source: <br />N/A <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />Kurt Ulrich <br />Outcome: <br />Action based upon discussion.

Note, Public Works staff has suggested that their planned <br />agenda would allow adequate time for this discussion. The Public Works Committee meeting is scheduled for <br />Tuesday, June 18, 2019, beginning at 5:30 p.m. <br />Attachments <br />Property tax v FranFee <br />Franchise Fee Ordinance <br />Example Ballot w Two Types of Questions <br />Canvassing Info for 2001 Election <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 06/05/2019 10:00 AM <br />Colleen Lasher Colleen Lasher 06/05/2019 03:49 PM <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 06/06/2019 03:55 PM <br />Form Started By: Jo Thieling Started On: 06/04/2019 04:41 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 06/06/2019 <br />
