A question was raised by Councilmember Carlson as to whether the <br />petition followed all the requirements for petitions set forth in the charter. A legal <br />opinion was sought to address that question. (See attached opinion.) <br />Due to other agenda issues and since there was no immediate need to consider the <br />petition request; consideration of the petition was deferred for a future time. The person <br />submitting the petition recently requested that the petition be discussed at the January 18, <br />2006 Council work session. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Staff is seeking Council direction on the petition. <br />Attachment <br />City Attorney's opinion on the petition. <br />
