ITEM "M" I CALL FOR ELECTION I HEIGHT LIMIT OF 25 FEET I OLD TOWN
The staff report was given by the City Manager. He stated that Council has two
options before them: 1) a special all mail ballot election to be held on September
16, 2008 or 2) have the initiative placed on the November 4, 2008 general
election ballot which would be consolidated with. the county's presidential
election, also on the ballot at that time will be city elections for Council Districts
two and four and the city clerk. The City Attorney noted that the proposed ballot
statement in the voter pamphlet would be simple and clear for the voters to
understand. Showing a sample, the City Attorney indicated that the statement
would be on the top of the page with language of proposed Ordinance Number
1573 and a map showing the area affected under it followed by the arguments for
and against and the rebuttals.
After Council made their comments it was the consensus that a November 4th
election would be best and directed staff to return with the necessary ordinances
and resolutions to call the election and gave staff direction regarding ballot
arguments for and against and rebuttals. The City Attorney stated that there will
be revision to the map that was in the agenda staff report to exclude the homes
along the beach (Gold Coast) and change the definition of the Old Town Area. It
