The referendum provisions are no <br />effect. <br />Mayor Reinert thanked Mr. Hawkins for his review and said he <br />hoped that this would help citizens in the future when they <br />consider petitioning for a referendum. <br />Mr. Hawkins said he looked at this matter seriously because this <br />provision of the Charter outlines one of the most important <br />rights reserved for the citizens. He felt that the City Council <br />should take denying the petitions very seriously. Mr. Hawkins <br />said this is why he took a considerable amount of time and effort <br />to research the matter and prepare as clear of a opinion as <br />possible. <br />CITY CLERK -TREASURER'S REPORT, MARILYN ANDERSON <br />Consideration of Resolution No. 95 - 44 Determining that the <br />Petition Titled, "Ordinance No. 01 - 95, Rezone of Clearwater <br />Creek" is Insufficient - Mrs. Anderson noted that at the March <br />27, 1995 City Council meeting, the City Council took action to <br />determine that three (3) petitions from a citizens group were <br />insufficient. The petitions did not contain the required 292 <br />signatures to allow that they be placed before the residents on a <br />ballot. <br />The above referenced petition contains signatures of only 83 <br />registered voters. Since 292 signatures are required to make the <br />petition sufficient, Mrs. Anderson recommended that the City <br />Council adopt Resolution No. 95 - 44 declaring the petition to be <br />insufficient and directing her to deliver a copy of the petition <br />to the sponsoring committee together with a written statement of <br />its defects. <br />Council Member Elliott moved to adopt Resolution No. 95 - 44 and <br />dispense with the reading. Council Member Kuether seconded the <br />motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Resolution No. 95 - 44 can be found at the end of these minutes. <br />Consideration of a Gambling License Request From the Dead Broke <br />Saddle Club - Mrs. Anderson explained that shortly before this <br />Council meeting started, officers from the Dead Broke Saddle Club <br />asked that the matter be withdrawn from the agenda this evening. <br />No further action is required by the City Council. <br />PAGE 6 <br />
