INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Rachel Bianchi, Communications and Government Relations Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: July 27, 2016
SUBJECT: Pro & Con Committees for the Public Safety Bond
ISSUE
The City Council must determine the make -up of the Pro and Con committees for the voters'
pamphlet statement on the Public Safety Bond.
BACKGROUND
King County Elections requires that jurisdictions putting local measures on the ballot must
identify the names for individuals to be on the Pro and Con committees associated with the
ballot measure. The City can only submit three names for each committee, although an
unlimited number can assist the committees in preparing the statements. The City advertised
that interested persons should submit their name to the City and that the Council would make
the final determination. The following names were received:
Pro Committee:
• Katrina Dohn
• Jim Haggerton
• Ed Hougardy
• Kathleen Wilson
Con Committee:
• Mark Cohen
• Charles Tyson
RECOMMENDATION
Because only two names were submitted for the Con committee, this committee is sufficient.
However, Council will need to make a decision on the three names for the Pro Committee to
forward to King County Elections. The names are due by 4:30 p.m. on August 2, 2016 to King
County Elections.
