Subject: Town Council Meeting 08/02/2023 item 1 public comment Dear Town Council,
The two proponents of the petition have not provided meaningful filing or funding information as part of the petition package.
1. Marin Residents PAC’s very first filing date just occurred on July 31, 2023 (yesterday). This information is vital for making any decisions about certifying the petition. Mr. Sexton, proponent, operates the PAC as an officer/director.
2. Keep Fairfax Fair, a California Corporation “top funders” information does not disclose the true top funders by a legal name or by amount of the funding. Ms. London, proponent, operates this California corporation as an officer/director (I attached an example of their statement).
Please postpone certifying the petition and request the missing information be provided by the proponents before taking any further action on the ballot measure and then review the certification after the proponents answer the request and provide the missing information. I believe enough time remains for delivery and factoring in this information without invoking any exception to the workflow set by the election code.
Certifying a ballot initiative petition while the public is still in the dark sets a bad precedent.
Thank you,
Rick Hamer
Fairfax Resident
Routing to Town Council
