Group submits signatures to get building-height question on...

Click title for link to article.  The following should be interesting, to say the least, to see how it plays out:

Submitting the signatures alone does not guarantee that the amendment, which would limit building heights along Lake and Lucerne avenues, will be on the November ballot.

The signatures must be verified to ensure they belong to registered city voters. Checks of the signatures submitted Monday should be complete by the end of this week, Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher said.

In addition, city commissioners must approve an ordinance on two readings by the Aug. 10 deadline to place the question on the Nov. 6 ballot.

Decker said she expects the commission to consider the ordinance placing the question on the ballot on first reading Aug. 7. She said the PAC is asking Mayor Pam Triolo to schedule a special meeting Aug. 8 or Aug. 9 to consider the ordinance on second reading so city voters can cast their preferences on Nov. 6.

“We’re looking for a hero here,” Decker said.
