Commission votes to send attorney-edited packet to City Council, aims for November ballot

The commission voted to submit the attorney-edited final packet to City Council as soon as legal counsel finishes formatting and clarifying language, with the stated goal of giving council enough time to consider placement on the November ballot. One commissioner emphasized timeline constraints, noting that if the packet is submitted promptly the council would see it at their June meeting and retain time to act before filing deadlines; the commission then carried the motion to transmit the packet.

Commissioners agreed on a short review process after legal counsel completes 'beautification' of language: counsel will circulate the cleaned draft, commissioners will have a deadline to object, and if a majority raise concerns a brief follow-up meeting would be scheduled. Commissioners also agreed to offer that up to three commissioners be available to present and answer questions at council meetings when the packet is presented.
