The City Clerk's Office received an initiative petition on June 19, 2012, which has been determined
to contain a sufficient number of signatures to place an initiated measure before the registered
electors of the City at a special election. Pursuant to the City Charter, upon presentation of an
initiative petition certified as sufficient by the City Clerk, the Council must either (1) adopt the
proposed ordinance without alteration within 30 days; or (2) submit such proposed measure, in the
form petitioned for, to the registered electors of the city. Pursuant to Article X, Section 4 of the City
Charter, an initiated measure submitted to the registered electors of the City cannot be repealed or
amended except by a subsequent electoral vote. Therefore, in this instance, Council cannot exercise

voters in November 2011.
