Title:

MOTION, submitted by Councilmember Keating, WE MOVE for the Law Department to begin drafting an ordinance updating the City Charter with provisions on ballot initiatives to allow for more public transparency and longer timeframes for the Law Department to prepare ballot initiatives for a Council vote. WE FURTHER MOVE the Law Department makes the appropriate changes to the Charter to require a petitioner to file final ballot measure language with the Clerk of Council prior to collecting any signatures. This should follow the mold set by the City of Columbus: a clear title to the ordinance along with a singular subject matter. This should be paired with fixing the ambiguous language within the City Charter regarding candidate petitions and their affidavits. (STATEMENT ATTACHED)
