N W CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of AUGUST 6, 1996 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: TERESA S. DELGADO't� Interim City Clerk SUBJECT: CERTIFICATION OF PETITION TO RECALL MAYOR GEORGE V. FULP AND RESOLUTIONS CALLING FOR SPECIAL MUNICIPAL ELECTION, REQUESTING CONSOLIDATION OF ELECTION AND REQUESTING COUNTY SERVICES DATE: JULY 30, 1996 Background: Proponent Sal A. Rios II filed a Petition to Recall Mavor George V. Fulp on July 3, 1996. Discussion After prima facie examination of the Petition by this office, it was determined that the number of signatures on said Petition was in excess of the 3,526 signatures required and the Petition was deemed filed. Recognizing that verification of approximately 6,275 signatures within 30 days would require the majority of staff time, the Petition was submitted to the Registrar of Voters Office for verification of signatures. This decision was also based on the limited number of staff and on the fact that, currently, the City Clerk's Office is conducting the nomination period for five City offices for the November election. On July 24, 1996, the Registrar of Voters Office submitted their Certificate to Petition which declared that the Petition had passed. As directed by Elections Code Section 11227, I am submitting the Certificate of Sufficiency of said Petition. Following certification, Elections Code Section 11240 directs that within 14 days the governing body shall issue an order calling the election. If the governing body does not act within the prescribed time, Elections Code Section 11241 directs that within 5 days, the County Elections Official shall set the date for holding the election. ITEM NO. 20
