MODIFICATION OF CHARTER PROVISIONS CONCERNING INITIATIVE REFERENDA.
Modification of Charter Provisions was discussed as presently only
166 signatures on a petition are required to get an item on the ballot.
Mr. Forney and the Village Attorney suggested raising the requirement
from 5% of those who voted in the last gubernatorial election to 10% of the
registered voters or 500, whichever would be less. Mayor Kirby asked Mr. Forney
to get more data from other cities and give his recommendation at the July
meeting.
Mrs. Jensen brought up the fact that only adults can circulate a
petition and this should be enforced in the future.
LIGHTING AT THE ATHLETIC FIELDS.
Because the citizens and Recreation Advisory Board opposed
lighting the athletic fields, it was agreed to drop the issue from the next
budget.
Dr. Butler announced there would be a meeting July 21 and 22 in
Metro Center regarding intercommunication on crime.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m.
