The Board acknowledged receipt of the materials to amend the County Charter. On Thursday, the Committee for Better Government completed the necessary Petition Fund Report and filed it with the state Board of Elections.
As of Friday, the County Board of Elections will have 20 days to validate the signatures.
A minimum of 10 thousand valid signatures must be confirmed for the question to be on the ballot in November’s General Election. Additional signatures must be submitted by July 29.
