`/' ' I REP�RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Councii From the City Clerk and City Attorney August 9, 2004 Subject Certification of Results of Referendum Petition Against Ordinance 1130-332 adopted by the Redwood City Council on June 28, 2004 Recommendation By motion, accept City Clerk's certification of the referendum petition. Background On July 27, 2004, the City Clerk accepted for filing a referendum petition to repeal Zoning Ordinance No. 1130-332 that was determined to be in proper form and contained at least the requisite number of signatures (3209). On July 28, 2004, the petition was delivered to the Elections Manager of San Mateo County for verification of signatures. On August 2, 2004, the Chief Elections Official of the County cert�ed that the petition contained 3633 sufficient signatures. Because the petition is valid as to form, contains a sufficient number of valid signatures, and was timely filed, it has been certified as sufficient. In accordance with Elections Code section 9114, the elections official (City Clerk) must certify the results of the examination to the City Council at its next regular meeting. A Special Council meeting was called for August 5 at 5:30 p.m. to consider action regarding the petition. At the time of the preparation of this report and the August 9, 2004 City Council agenda, any Council action or direction from the August 5, 2004 Special Council meeting is not yet known. A supplemental report will be prepared and submitted prior to the August 9 Council meeting should any new information or direction from Council result from the August 5 Special meeting. , J � J .
