Item 12c Kottinqer Hills - Referendum or Council Initiative Mayor Tarver reiterated that it would in the best interest of the community to combine elections to decide this issue. This would reduce the cost of having two special elections. The difference between this process and the referendum process is the verification of signatures. Ms. Scribner believed that this was a neighborhood referendum and it should be kept that way, which means it should follow the process. Ms. Mohr agreed. She added that if the Council puts it on the ballot, then it would become a Council initiative which is not what this is about. Mayor Tarver commented that if there was a majority on the Council that is now in opposition to the development, then it would be appropriate to make an initiative out of it. If Council wanted to stand by the decisions of the previous Council, then the process would be a referendum. 12/1/92 18
