At a glance

Detail

Clerk Hendricks reported the petitioners' committee obtained the required signatures under Charter section 14.5. On June 8, Mr. Brooks said the Citizens' Initiative was a symptom of the Assembly not listening to residents over several years. Rebecca Braun and Mike Riederer urged care about ballot crowding and separating bonds from mill rate questions.
