The effort to place term limits on a 2012 ballot may be in jeopardy due to a possible error in the filing, Councilman Dave Grosch said at Tuesday’s City Council meeting.
Grosch, who led the Term Limits Committee, told Powegians that he resubmitted the petition on Tuesday after certain required papers were not included in the original filing.
“If there was an error in this, it was an error made by me,” he said during council-initiated items.
According to city laws, the petition required a “Notice of Intent to Circulate Petition” and an “Initiative Measure to be Submitted Directly to the Voters” on each page of the petition. When the committee failed to attach the papers to each page on Monday, the City Clerk notified Grosch that the petition was rejected.
