SUBJECT:
Certification of Santa Monica Environmental
Protection Initiative
Attached is the verification I received on August 30, 1989, from
the Registrar-Recorder regarding the validation of the petition
entitled: "Initiative establishing a three year citywide
moratorium on hotel development, establishing a beach overlay
district in the area bounded by the Pacific Ocean on the west, by
the city boundary on the north, by the centerline of Ocean Avenue
and Nielson Way on the east, and by the city boundary on the
south (with certain exceptions), and restricting fifty percent of
the transient occupancy tax generated from hotels in the beach
overlay district and at 415 Pacific Coast Highway for Clean-up of
the Santa Monica Bay and for park improvements.1I
The petition contained 9,530 signatures, 6,813 of the signatures
qualified, 2,717 did not. The number of registered voters on
file with the Secretary of State on the date of publication of
IIIntent to Circu1atell was 56,133. The petition, therefore,
contains signatures representing more than 10%, but less than 15%
of the registered voters.
Election Code Section 4011 provides the following options upon
certification of less than 10%:
If the ordinance petitioned for is not required to be, or for
any reason is not, submitted to the voters at a special
election, and is not passed without change by the legislative
body, then the ordinance, without alteration, shall be
submitted by the legislative body to the voters at the next
regular municipal election occurring not less than 88 days
after the order of the legislative body, or after the

The petition contained the following instructions to the City
Council:
We, the undersigned, are registered and qualified voters of
the City of Santa Monica, County of Los Angeles, State of
California, constituting not less than 15% of the voters of
the City of Santa Monica. We present to the city Council of
the City of Santa Monica this petition and respectfully
request that the above proposed ordinance for the City of
Santa Monica be submitted immediately to a vote of the people
at a special election or, if we constitute not less than 10%
of the voters of the city of Santa Monica, and the above
ordinance is not required to be, or for any reason is not,
submitted to the voters at a special election, then we
request that it be submitted to a vote of the people at the
next regular municipal election. It is the intent of the
undersigned that the above proposed ordinance is an
alternative to an initiative ordinance proposed by the Save
Our Beach Committee and that the proposed initiative be
submitted to a vote of the people at the same election held
to consider the initiative ordinance proposed by the Save Our
Beach committee.
The City council at their last meeting referred the "Save Our
Beach" initiative and this initiative to staff for a report
pursuant to Election Code section 4009.5., therefore the only
action required by the City council at this time would be to
receive the City Clerk1s certification.
