PROPONENTS' NOTICE OF INTENT TO WITHDRAW INITIATIVE
Please be advised that we hereby withdraw the "The Mountain View
Homeowner, Renter, and Taxpayer Protection initiative," a proposed
amendment to the Mountain View Charter, of which we are the official
proponents, pursuant to Elections Code § 9266.5. That Section, enacted as
part of urgency legislation this October (Senate Bill 681), reads:
The proponent of a measure proposing to amend a
charter may withdraw the charter amendment at
any tithe before the 881h day before the election,
whether or not the petition has already been found
sufficient by the elections official.
The City Council has called an election for the measure at the
statewide primary election on November 3, 2020. The 88th day prior to that
election is August 7, 2020.
