The charter Commission finally receives the completed <br /> petitions, which it assembles into a single proposal and submits it to the City Council. The City <br /> Clerk has the duty to determine whether a sufficient number of signatures in present and that <br /> at least enough of them are "valid", meaning of registered voters in the City. Assuming that <br /> there are sufficient signatures, the Clerk certifies that to be the case and the amendment is <br /> placed on the ballot in the next general (or special election). other than setting an election <br /> date, there is no active intervention by the Council in this last method, nor is there a need to <br /> follow the ordinance procedures since none of this requires the passage of an ordinance by the <br /> City Council, unlike the other procedures I have noted above. <br /> I will be ready to discuss this as needed with the Council. Please let me know if you, the staff <br /> or the Council members have any questions in the meantime. <br /> Frederic W. Knaak, <br /> City Attorney <br /> S <br /> r <br />
