Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, June 15, 2020 Page 5 Petitioner Committee requiring term limits for all Mayfield Village elected officials Ron D Nardo, Chairman 6728 Seneca Road Re: Submitted Initiative Petition to propose an ordinance requiring term limits for all Mayfield Village elected officials. Dear Mayfield Village Clerk of Council, According to Article VII Section 1 of the Mayfield Village Charter electors have the power to propose an ordinance thru [sic] an initiative petition process. This proposed initiative petition ordinance will not be appropriating money or authorizing the levy of taxes. This initiative petition is proposing an ordinance allowing term limits for all elected officials to a maximum of 2 consecutive terms of 4 years each from when first elected. The enclosed initiative is being submitted to you thru a petition signed in ink by qualified electors equal in number to at least ten percent (10%) of the total vote cast at the last regular municipal election. The consensus of the enclosed 100+ signatures overwhelmingly supports the ballot language submitted in this bi- partisan initiative. This petitioner committee requiring term limits for all Mayfield Village elected officials will not accept council amended language to the initiative petition ordinance language as submitted. All signatories expect the language as submitted to read "By Initiative petition propose an ordinance allowing term limits for elected officials to a maximum of 2 consecutive terms of 4 years each from when first elected" and appear on the ballot for the November 3 d, 2020 general election as such. This petitioner committee requiring term limits for all Mayfield Village elected officials asks Council to pass the initiative petition ordinance language as submitted. This letter will serve as our formal request to submit the initiative petition ordinance language to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections to be processed and placed on the ballot for the electors of Mayfield Village to vote at the November 3 d, 2020 general election. Due to the uncertainty of the next in person regular scheduled council meeting because of the COVID-19 pandemic this initiative petition ordinance and letter is to be considered public comment and should be read into the meeting minutes as record at the next regularly scheduled council meeting. Respectfully, Ron DiNardo, Charmain [sic] of the Petitioner Committee requiring term limits for all Mayfield Village elected officials
