MEASURE NO. 24-01


City of Gates

Referred to The Voters by Initiative Petition

Amends City of Gates Charter

QUESTION:
Shall the City of Gates Charter be amended to require voter
approval before seeking monetary grants from government agencies?


SUMMARY: Amends the City of Gates Charter to require the city council to
submit any proposed grant request from the state or federal government to the
electors of the city for approval. The amendment would require a majority of the electors to
approve a grant proposal before such a request could be made of the state or federal
government. The amendment would restrict submission of a grant proposal to the electors
to only elections held at the same time as elections for city officers.
