regard to signatures upon various petitions or initiatives for various pur-
poses; and

ture validation requirements for various petitions or initiatives; and

best interest of the citizens of the City of Lubbock and of the entire state
to have such validation requirements made standard and placed in a single
location, such as the state Election Code; NOW THEREFORE:
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LUBBOCK:
THAT the City Council of the City of Lubbock believes that the right of
citizens to petition their government is very important and that such matters
should be as clear and concise as possible; and
THAT requirements for signature validation on all petitions and initia-
tives should be standardized and placed in a single location, such as the
State Election Code; and
THAT the City Council of the City of Lubbock hereby gives its support to
legislation designed to accomplish such purpose.
Passed by the City Council this �3rd day of September 1982.
