Submission of Council Recall Petitions

Another key milestone in the recall process has been completed. The recall petitions were finally submitted to the city clerk this afternoon. We were told that the minimum required number of signatures to approve a recall election is approximately 620 for each person. It looks like our volunteers have collected more than enough. Next step in the process is to wait for the city clerk and county elections office to verify the signatures. We should have some type of response within the next 30 days.

Estimated number of signatures for each person are as follows:
Melendez ~765
Cantu ~665
Santillano ~700

We would like to thank all of the people that hit the streets to collect signatures and all of the people that supported this effort by signing.
