REPORT OF THE CITY CLERK Upon receiving the initiative petition, several days were spent accessing information from the County Clerk's Office, reviewing the voter registration list and compiling spreadsheets. I reviewed a total of 673 names on the petition proposing an ordinance prohibiting the authorization of the power to negotiate for the sale of raw water from Lake Pat Mayse and/or Lake Crook to be transported beyond the boundaries of Lamar County, Texas. Out of that number, 88 were disqualified (1 was disqualified because there was no voter registration number or date of birth; 1 was disqualified because duplication; and 86 were disqualified because they were not registered to vote in the City). In order to bring this issue to a vote, the petition required signatures of 436 qualified voters and it contained 585 qualified voters. Based upon the information set out above, I have issued a certificate of sufficiency. 11~
