~~%~ <br />~~~~ <br />PHONE (719) 471-5020 <br />January 19, 1995 <br />Hon. Mayor & City Council <br />City of La Porte <br />City Hall <br />La Porte, Texas <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />o P. O. Box 1 1 1 5 o LA FORTE. I ExAS 77572 <br />On January 6, 1995, a Referendum Petition was filed with the City <br />Secretary of the City of La Porte, seeking repeal of Ordinance No. <br />94-1994. <br />Pursuant to Article VI of the Home Rule Charter of the City of La <br />Porte, I have examined each paper of the Petition to determine if <br />it has a proper statement of the circulator and whether the <br />Petition is signed by a sufficient number of qualified electors. <br />Based upon my examination, I have found and determined that the <br />Petition has been signed by a sufficient number of qualified <br />electors. <br />However, I am advised by the City Attorney that the Petition fails <br />to meet the requirements of Section 6.03, Subparagraph (a)(3): <br />"Circulators. There shall appear on each petition the <br />names and addresses of five (5) electors, who, as <br />circulators, shall be regarded as responsible for the <br />circulation and filing of the petition." <br />Section 6.03, Subparagraph c, provides that a referendum petition <br />may be amended within ten {10) days after the notification of <br />insufficiency has been sent by the City Secretary, by filing a <br />supplementary petition upon additional papers signed and filed as <br />provided in case of an original petition. I am notifying the <br />circulators that an amendment should be prepared for each petition <br />page, stating the names and addresses of five (5) electors, who, <br />as circulators, shall be regarded as responsible for the <br />circulation and filing of the petition. <br />Yours very truly, <br />Sue Lenes <br />City Secretary <br />SL:sw <br />cc: Ms. Ginnie Groda <br />926 Seabreeze <br />La Porte, TX 77571 <br />
