Samantha Orduno, City Administrator explained that additional signatures had

previously valid signatures totalled 837. For a sufficient petition, 891
valid signatures were needed. Today, one of the Petitioners, Kay Weseman
brought in and verified with staff 84 additional signatures bringing the
total valid signatures to 921. Based on the number of valid signatures, the
Petition is sufficient.
Ms. Orduno explained that while the Petition is valid in terms of meeting
the number of valid signature requirements, the action which the Petition
seeks is not permitted by State Law. She explained that the advice of the
City Attorney is to deny action which would place the issue on the ballot as
such action is counter indicated by Law.
Councilmember Gary Quick noted that the challenges to the Law have been
~pheld by the State Supreme Court.
