Councilmember Peterson has items four, five and six, and Councilmember Nelson has item number seven in Casper. Mosqueda as matters agenda items eight, nine and ten. Madam Clerk, will you please read item one into the record? The Report of the City Council Agenda Item one Clerk File 314495. The report of the City Clerk on the Certificate of Sufficiency for initiative number 134 concerning approval. Voting for Mayor, City Attorney and City Council Member Primary Elections. Thank you. I apologize for that brief moment there. So this item is coming from the council president's office. And I will go ahead and read for the record what I need to say legally so we can move this item forward. Clerk File 314495 is a notice. That initiative 134 has sufficient signatures to go to the ballot, according to the city charter. The city clerk has 20 days from receipt of this notice from King County elections to file the notice with the city council. This starts a 45 day clock for council action on the initiative. In order to provide my colleagues with additional time to consider the initiative. I'm recommending that we hold this notice for one week. As a reminder, the city's election code sale when you spill code 2.04.300 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 to support or oppose the ballot proposition. That will occur at a future meeting. At a future meeting, excuse me, within 45 days of the clerk file within that filing. I'm sorry. 45 days of filing the clerk file 314495. I recommend that council members restrain from refrain from discussing this initiative. Today I move to postpone the clerk file 314495 to July 5th, 2022. Is there a second? Okay. Thank you. It's been moved and seconded to postpone the clerk file. The clerk?
