MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN
OF
MARANA
DATE: August 19, 1997
AGENDA ITEM:
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Hurvie E. Davis, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 97.26 - To Amend the Town Code Regarding the Procedure
for Putting Initiative and Referendum Matters on the Public Ballot.
DISCUSSION: The Arizona League of Cities and Towns has brought to our attention that our
Town Code lacks the customary provisions for the setting of special elections for
referendum and initiative, and the other rules relating to referendum. The
proposed language in the attached proposed ordinance is rather standard and is the
recommended language from the League.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Ordinance 97.26 be adopted which will add the language
contained therein to the Town Code.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I move the adoption of Ordinance No. 97.26, amending the Marana Town Code by
adding Section 2-2-6 setting forth and regulating the procedure by which an
initiative or referendum matter may be put on the public ballot.
