The existing Charter requires 15% of those voting for president or 936 persons to <br /> sign a successful petition. The commission had proposed changing the requirement <br /> to 20% of those voting for mayor, or 1130 required for a successful petition. The <br /> goal of the commission was not to raise the number of persons required to <br /> successfully petition the city. <br /> Motion by Julie Trude, seconded by Jerry Linke to use the original charter <br /> requirement that 15% of those voting for president in the last general election be <br /> required to present a successful petition to the City.
