Adopt resolution amending the ballot question for Measure B to more clearly identify its
title.
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting of Tuesday, January 15, 1991, under Public Comment, Gary Kunkel, a
proponent of the W.A.T.E.R. initiative, requested that Measure B, the question to the
voters on the Water Action To Eliminate Rationing be amended to more clearly reflect the
intent of the question. He provided recommended language in a letter dated January 14,
1991, which read, "Shall the ordinance requiring the City to obtain public and /or private
sources of water, to phase out water rationing, and to rollback rate increases caused by
rationing, all within one year of passage, be adopted ?" The City Attorney stated he had
reviewed the request and suggested alternative language to read, " Shall the Water Action
to Eliminate Rationing ordinance be adopted ?"
Upon general concensus, Council directed staff to return at the next available meeting with
a resolution amending Council adopted Resolution No. 6917 which reads in part, "Shall the
ordinance to Eliminate Water Rationing be adopted ?" Staff now recommends by draft
resolution attached, that the question be amended to'tead, "Shall the Water Action to
Eliminate Rationing ordinance be adopted ?," to more accurately reflect the question being
submitted to the voters.
