Bethea: Questioned changing the 15% in Section 11-3 . <br /> L'Orange: Referred to a letter from Rudy Legaspi <br /> (Exhibit C) suggesting setting a petition submission <br /> date of May 1st. Feels this would solve some problems. <br /> MOTION NO. 10: L'Orange: Made a motion to include in <br /> the Charter a petition submission date of May 1st, <br /> relative to Section 11-3 (a) (b) . Ms . Poppe seconded <br /> the motion. <br /> Bethea: Exact language will be supplied by Mr. Yuen <br /> before or at the next meeting. Poppe: Questioned <br /> whether it should read "no later than" May 1st , with <br /> the completed signatures by the ballot deadline? <br /> Yuen: Not necessary. Bethea: Questioned the wording <br /> of Section 11-6 . <br /> L'Orange: Suggested eliminating Section 11-5 (d) , <br /> 11-6 (a) and (b) and 11-6 (c) per Legaspi ' s letter , in <br /> the interest of simplifying things. The problem with <br /> signatures on petitions is petitioners are not <br /> selective in signing up qualified residents and <br /> checking signatures is therefore lengthy. Poppe: <br /> Also, signers of petitions do not read the complete <br /> petition. <br /> Yuen: It ' s also difficult for people to determine <br /> whether or not they have enough signatures. Cushnie: <br /> Says much overtime is incurred because of large <br /> numbers of signatures on petitioners . Questioned how <br /> current a signature list can be. Bethea: Mr. Yuen <br /> can come up with adequate language. Suggested voting <br /> right now on CONCEPTS ONLY. <br /> L'Orange: Questioned Mr. Yuen on whether or not the <br /> May 1st date would be a help or a. hinderance. Yuen: <br /> Council needs time to consider items and Rudy Legaspi <br /> is eliminating a second chance to get signatures. <br /> Reason for having a fixed date is the time frames are <br /> so tight. Bethea: Questioned when petitioners are <br /> allowed a second chance to amend the petition. Yuen: <br /> Petitioners don' t amend a petition; supplemental list <br /> of signatures is what is submitted. Duncan: Asked <br /> Mr. Yuen whether he recommends including a May 1st <br /> date. Yuen: Recommends a fixed date, because there <br /> are lots of time frames to consider for initiative and <br /> a deadline would be helpful. <br /> MOTION NO. 11 : L'Orange: Withdraws his previous <br /> Motion No. 10. Makes a motion to have a firm date <br /> included in Section 11-3 ; seconded by Mr. Greenwell . <br /> All were in favor; motion passed. <br /> 854 <br />
