DATED this Q& ` day of 1978. Deputy..City. Clerk MEMO from Lee Kraft O DAT 04- ❑ REPLY ❑ INITIAL AND RETURN ❑ SEE ME COMPLETE Re: City of Pasco, Washington; $500,000 "General Obligation Bonds, 1978" Dear Pat: I learned only yesterday of the unwillingness of the County Auditor's Office to accept the ballot title in the original resolution due to its length. This is a problem that occasionally arises when an effort is made to inform the voters as fully as possible in the ballot title of precisely what is intended to be acquired. The alterna- tive is to shorten the ballot title and leave the dissemination of complete information to publicity prior to the election. Accordingly, you will find enclosed a new ordinance amending the ballot title in a manner which I have discussed with Dorothy Towne who is satisfied with the modified language. I recommend that the amendatory ordinance be adopted at the next regular City Council meeting and that a certified copy fh—eTle7oe promptly furnished to the County Auditor. We__a_ so wou like o ave a certified co v to ether with certified excerp s ot tHe menu es of the Council meeting re- ec`t 'ac i n e or mance an an affidavit of publication of such or in a e.
