In a recent government meeting, officials approved the minutes from the August 15th session and confirmed that the necessary paperwork for a ballot measure has been completed and accepted by the county board of elections. This measure will be included on the ballot for the upcoming general election on November 5th.

During the meeting, it was clarified that while there are additional obligations related to advertising the ballot measure, these do not require further action from the commission. The notice for the measure has already been prepared and is scheduled for publication in local media, with additional postings planned for polling places on election day.

Public comments were invited, leading to a critical statement from a resident who expressed dissatisfaction with the current administration. The speaker accused city officials of mismanagement and a lack of accountability, claiming that the administration is more focused on political gain than serving the community's interests. The resident urged for the rejection of the proposed home rule, citing concerns over transparency and governance.

The meeting concluded with the formation of a public education committee, which is tasked with ensuring that the community is informed before the vote on the ballot measure. The committee's chair, Ms. Rufo, reported that they had convened for the first time earlier that day.
