REPORT OF THE CITY CLERK <br />Upon receiving the initiative petition, several days were spent accessing information from the <br />County Clerk's Office, reviewing the voter registration list and compiling spreadsheets. <br />I reviewed a total of 655 names on the petition proposing adoption of a new section to the existing <br />Code of Ordinances of the City of Paris, Texas relating to establishment of a limit for taxes for <br />qualifying individuals pursuant to Article 8, Section 1-b(h) of the Texas Constitution and Texas Tax <br />Code Section 11.261 filed March 18, 2008. Out of that number, 80 were disqualified (1 because <br />there was no voter registration number or date of birth; 5 were disqualified because they were <br />duplicate signatures; and 74 were disqualified because they were not registered to vote in the City). <br />In order to bring this issue to a vote, the petition required signatures of 436 qualified voters and it <br />contained 575 qualified voters. Based upon the information set out above, I have issued a certificate <br />of sufficiency. <br />1l~ <br />
