MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of Council
FROM: John P. Worcester
DATE: May 22, 2000
RE: Resolution Calling for a Special Municipal Election - Aug, 8, 2000
There has been some discussion amongst members of Council to place a ballot question on the
August primary election. In that the City Charter requires that special elections be called no less
than 60 days before the proposed election date, your May 22, 2000, Council meeting may be the
last oppommity to call for the special election. Attached for your review and consideration is a
resolution that, if adopted, would establish August 8, 2000, as a special mumcipal election date.
The resolution merely calls for the special election, but does not submit any ballot questions.
The attached resolution does not require the City to proceed with the election if no ballot questions
are actually submitted. If ballot questions are prepared, approved by Council, and submitted to the
County Clerk, the attached resolution would authorize the requisite special election to allow the
electorate to vote on them on August 8, 2000.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
