Auditor: referendum petition for B2022-01-09A validated and forwarded to counsel
Summary
Auditor Courtney Parker reported the county validated 291 signatures on a referendum petition for B2022-01-09A, exceeding the 156 required; Parker said the petition has been forwarded to legal counsel for final approval and confirmation was pending.
Auditor Courtney Parker told the Deuel County Commissioners on May 5 that a referendum petition for ordinance B2022-01-09A was filed with the county and that 291 signatures were validated, surpassing the 156 signatures required to trigger further review. Parker said the petition packet was forwarded to the county’s legal counsel for final review and that the county had not yet received counsel’s confirmation by the time the minutes were prepared.
Parker described the validation count and the transmission to legal counsel; no final legal determination is recorded in the minutes. The board did not take a formal vote at the meeting on the substance of B2022-01-09A, and next procedural steps depend on counsel’s review and any statutory timelines for referendum processing.
Next steps: Auditor Parker will await legal counsel’s confirmation and the board will follow any procedural requirements set by counsel and state election law.
