Councilman Lofy pointed out that as a matter of courtesy for all parties concerned to allow them maximum time and opportunity to plan for the election process that he would make a motion to change the election date from August 18, 1992 as listed on the proposed Resolutions to September 15, 1992. Councilman Rehrer seconded the motion. Mr. Donald J. Sanders, 1445 N. Teresa Avenue, read a written statement objecting to the recall movement to oust Councilwoman Cisneros citing that the petition is based on rumor, innuendo, unsubstantiated facts and flimsy charges which serves as a diversion to deep seated issues that have not been addressed. He suggested a revamping of the recall process to eliminate the vindictive and personal attack against the incumbent. Mr. Sanders cited Mrs. Cisneros years of dedicated service to the community. He urged the voters to rise and reinstate Councilwoman Cisneros if and when a special election is held. Mr. Rocky Fredrickson, asked why the election date was being moved from August to September. Councilman Lofy reiterated that people would need sufficient time to put money and resources together in order to meet this election and that he felt it was a matter of courtesy to allow the parties involved as much time, under the law, for preparation.
