A petition was submitted to the Town for the Point Salubrious proposed Water District. The Town then asked our Attorney to review the petition and provide me with an opinion on whether the petition was sufficient. The Attorney analyzed property information from Brownell Abstract to determine which property owners were able to sign the petition. They then reached out to Jefferson County Board of Elections to find that 1,112 residents voted in the last election.
For the Petition to be valid, there needed to be 56 signatures
The petition had 63 signatures which 59 were valid.
I analyzed the information the Attorney has provided the Town and agree that the petition is sufficient. The Town will now need to hold a special election on the creation of the proposed water district. As soon as we have more information regarding the petition, the Town will share this with our residents.
