ELECTION COMMISSION
Minutes
August 29, 1979
Present: Betty Keena
Barbara Burget
William James
Also Present: City Attorney Berardini
Janice Watkins
The meeting was called to order at 4:15 p.m. in the City Attorney's
conference room.
Mr. James transmitted a sample candidate packet and the Commission
reviewed the calendar of events for the upcoming general municipal
election, November 6, 1979:
Mr. James stated petitions to recall Councilman Donald Harper had
been withdrawn and resubmitted with affidavits on August 15, 1979;
therefore, the petitions would have to be certified to Council
within the five day period after August 30, 1979.
The Commission discussed establishing guidelines concerning whether
or not the council member that has been petitioned for recall needs
to let the Clerk know of his intentions to resign or be a candi-
date. The Commission decided that the council member for which
the recall petition has been submitted must notify the City Clerk
within five days after the Clerk has certified the petitions to
Council of his intentions to resign or whether he will be a
candidate on the ballot. If the council member does not notify
the Clerk of his intentions then the matter automatically becomes
a recall question on the ballot. The Commission noted such a
ruling is in keeping with the C.R.S., 1973, as amended.
The meeting adjourned at 5:10 p.m.
