To be valid, an initiative petition must be signed by 10% of the entire votes cast within the
county for all candidates for Governor at the last gubernatorial election (November 12,
2010). On June 5, 2014, a proposed county-wide initiative titled "Ordinance Imposing A Ban
On Hydraulic Fracturing Within Butte County" was filed in the Butte County Elections Office.

the regular meeting at which the certification of the petition is presented, or within 10 days
after it is presented; (b) Submit the ordinance, without alteration, to the voters pursuant to
subdivision 1405(b), at the next statewide election occurring not less than 88 days after the
date of the Board of Supervisor's order to call election; or (c) Order a report pursuant to
section 9111. When the report is presented, the Board must either adopt the ordinance
within 10 days or order an election. A copy of the signature certification will be available by
July 29, 2014. The petition, ballot title and summary, notice of intention, proposed
ordinance, and copy of elections code section 9111 is attached. A resolution calling for the
election will be available at the time this item is considered action requested - 1) ACCEPT
THE CERTIFICATION OF SUFFICIENCY; AND 2) PASS THE ORDINANCE, WITHOUT
ALTERATION; OR 3) ADOPT RESOLUTION PLACING THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE ON THE
NOVEMBER 4, 2014 GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT; OR 4) REQUEST A REPORT PURSUANT TO
SECTION 9111 OF THE CALIFORNIA ELECTIONS CODE. (Clerk-Recorder)
