Establish policy for writing ballot arguments and analysis for June election measures
Resolution Resolution No. 11-16
In Plain English
The city needs rules for who can write arguments supporting or opposing ballot measures in the June 2016 election. Current policy does not specify how these arguments get submitted or reviewed. If approved, the city creates formal procedures for ballot argument filing and requires neutral legal and financial analysis for each measure that appears on ballots.
