City clerk certifies recall petition against mayor insufficient
Summary
City Clerk Heather Stachsney reported a recall petition filed against Mayor Tom Thompson was submitted June 22 but did not meet the charter's signature threshold; she certified the petition insufficient and provided the certification to legal counsel.
City Clerk Heather Stachsney presented background on an affidavit filed April 21 seeking the recall of Mayor Tom Thompson and told council the petition submitted June 22 "did not contain a sufficient number of signatures to meet the required threshold" under Section 48 of the city charter. Because the petition was insufficient on its face, Stachsney said signature validation was unnecessary and she certified the petition insufficient and delivered the certification to counsel.
Stachsney noted the item was informational only and required no council action; she said she was available to answer questions from the dais and reiterated the certification steps required by charter. No further action was taken during the meeting.
