Council approves resolution to place initiative on November ballot after certification of signatures
Summary
Council passed Resolution No. 6-2026 to submit an initiative petition to voters on Nov. 3, 2026 after staff confirmed the board of elections certified about 380 valid signatures—more than the roughly 298 required.
Acting Mayor Mary Westfall introduced Resolution No. 6-2026, which directs placement of an initiative petition on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Councilmember Bryony reported that the board of elections had certified the petition, noting "there were 380 valid signatures" compared with roughly 298 required, and the council approved the resolution as an emergency measure.
Councilmembers moved and seconded the resolution by title and carried the measure by voice vote. Westfall said the legislation follows the city charter process and represents the procedural step needed to advance the petition for elector consideration in November.
