actually adopts the ordinance, as an ordinance, and then says, <br />because of Amendment 1, they have to have voter approval of this <br />and puts it on the ballot. She explained that in that latter <br />instance, the likelihood of anybody successfully challenging an <br />ordinance adopted by the City Council, because the ballot title was <br />set for petition today, is very remote. <br /> <br />Davidson called for any further discussion. <br /> <br />NONE <br /> <br />Mayer moved that Council amend Resolution No. 26, Series 1993, to <br />permit the setting of the ballot title at this special meeting of <br />the City Council. Seconded by Sisk. Roll call was taken. Motion <br />passed by a 6 - 0 vote with Hornbostel being absent. <br /> <br />TITLE SETTING <br /> <br />Susan Griffiths, City Attorney, stated that the Mayor, Council, and <br />the Deputy City Clerk would be acting as the Title Board for the <br />City of Louisville, under Senate Bill 93-135, to set the title of <br />this initiated measure. The petition representatives did file a <br />revised draft ordinance on June 23, as Resolution No. 26 permitted. <br />Griffiths had in Council's packet a copy of the memo (SEE ATTACHED) <br />she had sent to the Title Board containing the revised wording of <br />the proposed ordinance and the legal requirements for the setting <br />of the title. The memo contained the suggested title from the <br />petition representatives. She explained that the Title Board is <br />not required to use the title suggested by the petition <br />representatives. The Title Board is authorized to set whatever <br />title they believe meets all of the legal tests that are set for in <br />the State Statute and the Constitution. Griffiths stated that the <br />title set forth by the petition representatives does not comply <br />with No. 6 (SEE ATTACHED), which requires that a title for a tax <br />increase begin with certain words specified in Amendment 1. She <br />stated that a dollar amount must be put into the title. She <br />suggested that the Title Board put in a rate and then the number. <br /> <br />Davidson felt that Alternative A (SEE ATTACHED) was closest to what <br />the petitioners title was, and what Davidson was in favor of using. <br /> <br />Howard: So moved. <br /> <br />Mayer seconded. <br /> <br />Davidson stated that it had been moved and seconded to adopt <br />Alternative A, as the title. <br /> <br />SHALL CITY OF LOUISVILLE TAXES BE INCREASED BY IMPOSING A <br />TEMPORARY SALES AND USE TAX OF 3/8% FOR TEN YEARS, BEGINNING <br />JANUARY 1, 1994, TO RAISE APPROXIMATELY $500,000 ANNUALLY (IN <br />THE FIRST YEAR), WITH REVENUES FROM THE INCREASE TO BE USED <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
