In addition, the Code will be amended to require that the City pay postage on all voted ballots returned by mail. Both amendments are anticipated to increase voter participation. Ordinance No. 130, 2011 was originally considered on Second Reading on October 18, 2011. It was postponed to this date to allow staff to amend the Ordinance to further define those inactive-failed to vote electors who will receive a mail ballot package, and to prepare a Resolution directing the City Manager to provide an analysis of the April 2013 election. This Ordinance was amended prior to Second Reading on October 18 to add language clarifying that ballots will be mailed to inactive registered electors with a status designation of “inactive-failed to vote”. On October 18, Council directed that the Ordinance be revised to provide that any inactive- failed to vote elector who voted in at least one of the past two General Elections immediately preceding any City election conducted by mail ballot, will receive a mail ballot package. 8.

This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on October 18, 2011, establishes a process for the City Council’s responsibilities in the naming of City facilities or properties. The process defines how appropriate names are selected when a facility is to be named for a person (living or dead), or for an organization (e.g., foundations) or corporations. This Ordinance establishes Council’s role in such facility naming and establishes the City Manager’s authority to name other facilities. In addition to this Ordinance, an Administrative Policy is outlined which establishes staff’s role in the naming of facilities in other circumstances. In response to a Council comment that the proposed ordinance included some confusing language, staff has streamlined subsection 23-141(d) to clarify the process to be used. This simplified language is included in the Ordinance on Second Reading. Page 4 11.
