Report of the City Clerk on the Certificate of Sufficiency for Initiative No. 134, concerning approval voting for Mayor, City Attorney, and City Councilmember primary elections.
Agenda item two. Clip 4314495. Report of the City Clerk on the Certificate of Sufficiency for initiative number 134 concerning approving approval. Voting for mayor, city attorney and City Councilmember. Primary elections. Thank you. Clerk file 314495 is notice that initiative 134 has sufficient signatures to go to the ballot. According to the city charter, the city clerk has 20 days for receipt of notice from King County elections to file the notice with the city council. The city clerk filed her report and the certificate of sufficiency with the council before this clerk file on June 28th. This action started the 45 day clock for council action on the initiatives. In order to provide my colleagues with additional time to consider this initiative. I'm recommending holding this clerk file for another week. This clerk file will appear on every agenda until the City Council determines what action will be taken in response to initiative number 134 134. As a reminder, the city's election code C-11 is for code 2.04300. Prohibits elected officials and city employees from using their office for the promotion or opposition of any ballot measure. According to the code, we should refrain from discussing the merits of the initiative until we are actually voting on legislation to support or oppose the ballot proposition. That will occur at a future meeting and within 45 days of the clerk file of this clerk file being filed with the council. I recommend that Council members refrain from discussing this initiative today and until the Council considers legislation supported or opposing this ballot proposition. I move to postpone clerk file 314495 to July 12. Is there a second? Second. Thank you. It's been moved and seconded to postpone the Clarke file. Will the Clarke please call the roll on postponing of Clarke file 314495 until July 12th. Council member silent. Yes. Councilmember Strauss. Yes. Councilmember Herbold? Yes. Councilmember Lewis? Yes. Councilmember Morales. Yes. Councilmember Nelson. Yes. Councilmember Peterson. S Council president worries high it in favor and unopposed. Thank you. The motion carries the clerk file is postponed until July 12. This item will appear on every agenda until the City Council determines what action will be taken in response to Initiative 134.
