Grubb, City Clerk Samuel I. Streichman, Assistant City Attorney Correction of Typographical and Clerical Errors in Regard To Ordinance No. 984 In reviewing the ballot designation ordinance, we have noted the need for two corrections. Section 615 of the Charter of the City of Santa Monica provides inter alia as follows: "The correction of typographical or clerical errors shall not constitute the making of an alteration." Pursuant to the above referred to Charter provision, please correct ordinance No. 984 as follows: 1. Proposition No. 3 should read "Fifth proposed amendment, amending Section 1404 of Article XIV, by requiring the signatures of ten (10%) percent of the voters in the City at the last election,... The word "Cityft is inserted in lieu of the word "district". 2. The fifth proposed amendment should read "[b]y requ2r2ng a special election for the submission of a qualified petition within one hundred eighty (180) days instead of 89.... The number "89" should be inserted in lieu of the number "8011. Due to the typographical and clerical nature of these errors it will not be necessary to republish the aforementioned ordinance. Thank you for your courtesy and cooperation in this regard. ~ S EL . ST Assistant City Attorney RLK:SIS:jst -~ t & " - .
