THE CITY OF ENGLEWOOD
MINUTES OF ELECTION COMMISSION MEETING
JULY 8, 1966
The City of Englewood Election Commission met at 12:15 P.M.,
July 8, 1966, at the Hackney House Restaurant in Englewood, Colorado .
Present were Mr. Harry Fleenor, Mr. Stephen Lyon, and Mrs. Dorothy
Romer. Also present were Mr. Terry Paup, Assistant City Attorney
and Mr. Leo Barron, Deputy City Clerk.
Mr. Paup presented a legal opinion on the authority of the
Election Commission to determine the wording of questions to be
placed on the ballot. The opinion stated "that the ballot title
and submission clause must accurately and concisely reflect the
substance and content of the proposed initiated ordinance. The
formulation of this ballot title and submission clause is a pro-
cedural responsibility which is vested in the Election Commission,
and they may amend the one submitted on the initiative petition
if they deem it does not fairly and accurately reflect the proposed
ordinance ." (A copy of said opinion is attached hereto.)
The Election Commission discussed the opinion and the wording
of the questions to be submitted to the voters. It was moved by
Mr. Fleenor and seconded by Mrs. Romer that the wording of the
two questions to be placed on the ballot before the voters be the
following:
1. An ordinance requiring motor vehicles, except
trucks and busses, stopped or parked on the
streets of sufficient width in the City of
Englewood to be parked at an angle of forty-
f i ve degrees in relation to adjacent curb, and
repealing all ordinances or parts of ordinances
in conflict herewith.
2. An ordinance requiring the parking of motor vehicles
upon the streets within the City of Englewood, Colo-
rado, having adjacent curbs, in such a manner so that
both the front and rear wheels thereof are not more
than twelve (12) inches from such adjacent curbs,
except where parking is prohibited and repealing all
ordinances in conflict therewith.
and that the resolution adopting said wording be approved. The
motion carried unanimously. (A copy of said resolution is
attached hereto.)
