EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Rule 11.05, Citizen Petitions, of the City of Flagstaff City Council Rules of Procedure outlines the process for citizens to submit petitions to the Council as referenced in Flagstaff City Charter Article II Section 17. The attached petition, entitled Political Rhetoric, was submitted to the City Manager's Office on December 31, 2015, and is requesting support for a petition similar to what they provided.
While the voters in Flagstaff approved an amendment to the City Charter requiring the signatures of at least 25 residents on these petitions, those changes have not yet been signed by the Governor and, therefore, are not in effect.
