(A) No later September 7, 2007, the designated election official for the City shall certify the order of the ballot and the ballot content. Such certification shall be delivered to the County Clerk and shall include all TABOR ballot issue notice information. The order of the ballot and the ballot content shall also include the names and office of each candidate for whom a petition has been filed with the Election Officer and any ballot issues or ballot questions to be submitted to the eligible electors. The City shall be solely responsible for the accuracy of the information contained in the certificate. Any error that can be corrected pursuant to C.R.S. 1-5-412 shall be corrected at the expense of the City. As also described in Sections 3.3(A) and (B) of this IGA, the City shall submit the ballot layout to the County Clerk in a form acceptable to the County Clerk, in her sole discretion. As an example, but not as a limitation, ballot texts shall not include graphs, tables, charts or diagrams of any kind. The County Clerk shall not impose a modification requirement on the City which would alter the ballot text in any way. This provision is intended to allow the County Clerk to process the ballot layouts in a cost effective, efficient manner in order to prepare them for printing. Additionally, the City shall submit an audio recording of good quality with the names of each candidate clearly spoken on the recording. This requirement is intended to aid the County Clerk in programming the audio component of the electromechanical voting equipment for the Election. (B) Pursuant to Section 3.3(A) and (B) of this IGA, the City shall make any modifications to the ballot layout as requested by the County Clerk. If no modifications are requested, or after final modifications have been made to the ballot layout, the City shall review, proofread, and approve the layout, format, and text of the "final draft form" of the City's official ballot and/or TABOR Notice input within 24 hours of being provided the copy to be proofed. (C) Provide to the County Clerk all required TABOR Notices concerning ballot issues in the manner required by Article X, Section 20 of the C.R.S. The submission on September 25, 2007 of the entire TABOR Notice text will include the ballot title, text, and fiscal history or any other required wording for the Notice. The submission will be made in electronic format (CD or e-mail, preferably in WORD) to facilitate accuracy, reduce printing time and expedite the typesetting of the variable data of the Notice which will allow the City sufficient time to proof read their portion of the Notice and will allow the printer to make a better judgment on the time it will take to print, address, and mail the notices. (D) The City shall accept all Pro and Con statements relative to City issues on or before September 21, 2007 and submit to the County Clerk the Pro and Con summaries for TABOR Amendment issues as stated in C.R.S. 1-7-904; Art, Sec. 20(3)(b)(v) that will appear on the ballots containing the City's ballot issue(s). The entire TABOR Notice text, including Pro and Con summaries is to be submitted to the County Clerk no later than September 25, 2007. (E) Prepare and publish legal notices of the Election as required by law
