CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of November 14,2011 — Regular Meeting Page 20 of 23 date. She stated that the special election would be run concurrently with the regular election in August, and all candidates for both the special and the regular elections would qualify at the same time. She added that she would be proposing moving the City's qualifying week to the third full week in May in order to give enough latitude to meet all the requirements. She noted that the existing language provides for the third week in June and the Supervisor of Elections has informed her that would not allow sufficient time for the names to be placed on the ballot. Ms. Gardner also advised that the petition process would be moved up a full month which she believed would be the fourth Tuesday in April and wanted to make everyone aware of that. She stated that all this information would be included in the ordinance which she would bring for first reading in December. Ms. Gardner requested that Mr. Aramendia come to see her in the next few days in order to fill out some paperwork, including a financial disclosure form, loyalty oath and residency affidavit, and she would give him his orientation at that time as well. Ms. Reischmann clarified for the record that the Charter does provide that the Commission fills the vacancy only until the next regular Commission election.
