On September 1, 2004, the Clerk of the Council determined, prima facie,

signature verification by the Orange County Registrar of Voters
(Registrar).

Pursuant to Elections Code Sections 9114, the Registrar must complete
the verification process within 30 working days following September 1,
2004, and may utilize a 500-signature random count process.

The Clerk of the Council, upon advice of the Registrar and in accordance
with Elections Code Section 9115, has determined to utilize a 500-

$29,000, while a random count will cost approximately $1,700. These
costs must be borne by the City.
Under Elections Code Section 9115, the random count must result in a
number that is at least 110% of the required valid signatures; otherwise a
full count must be conducted. If necessary, the full count must be
