" Councilman Hequembourg introduced a substitute bill for the Council's consideration. The amendments contained in the sub- stitute bill are as follows : a) Section 14-12 (a) . The sentence "However, a candidate for City office shall not be required to designate any affiliation, 4 membership, or status" is deleted from the bill pending. b) Reference in title to non-partisan is deleted. c) New intent and purpose clause conforming the city election laws to the Comprehensive Election Act of 1977, Chapter 115 RSMo and to enact certain other provisions dealing with areas left to the discretion of the city by said Act. d) 14.6 (d) has been deleted, which was the definition of non-partisan. e) 14. 12, Nomination of Candidates is the new title as oppose. to non-partisan nomination of candidates. f) 14-12 (b) . The language "the candidate's political, non- partisan, or independent designation, if any" was added. The words "if any" were then deleted from the sentence. i' 8 raf. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OCTOBER 5,_1981 g) 14.12 (g) . Number of signatures needed for a petition of a candidate has been changed to 25 for City Councilman and 125 for Mayor and Treasurer with 25 signatures from each ward for Mayor and Treasurer. yf h) 14. 17. The sentence "should the candidate designate a membership in a political party, or a non-partisan or independent status, the designation shall appear, in an unabbreviated form, next to the candidate's name" was added. Mayor Hartsfield pointed out that the changes basically do two things: 1) anyone seeking to have their name on the ballot must have a designation and 2) lowers the nominating petition number of signatures. Councilman Hequembourg stated the substitute bill would also: 1) allow state employees, who are permanent citizens of Jefferson City, to participate in city government, and, 2) would do away with the expense of a primary election unless there are four candidates. Willard Refine, Chairman of the Cole County Democratic Central Committee, appeared. After reading the amendments contained in the substitute bill, he commended Councilman Hequembourg for improving the bill. However, he felt there were still problems. He feels the ordinances dealing with elections should be rewritten to delete the outdated language. He also feels there would be a problem with political tricks where more than one person would file under one party label to confuse the voters and would prevent a statutory political committee from being involved in the electio process. Also, because of no primary election, we could have minority elected candidates. He also has a problem with the in-- ability of the party committee to appoint new candidates if a candidate dies or withdraws. After further discussion, Councilman Hequembourg moved that the substituted bill be accepted. Motion seconded by Councilman Prenger and panned. After voting to accept the substitute bill, Councilman Brant requested that the nubnt.itute bill be placed on the Informal 1 Calendar. Mayor requested Mr. Utterback have a revised draft of the remainder of the elect.ion code prior to the next: Council meeting. A representative of. the Capitol. Young Democrats Annoci.ration was also present. He too commended the Council t:or postponing a rushed judgment on Bill. 8158 and stated that their organization also has problems with thin Bill , one of which would be a ballot which might not be authorized in the State of Missouri.
