§ 1177 Petition Certificate Review

• •The board reviews the petition at a regular meeting.
• •The board checks that the petition meets all the required rules.
• •The signature certificate is taken as final proof of enough signatures.

A neighborhood group wants the city to add a new park. They bring their petition and a signed certificate saying they have the required number of signatures to the board meeting.

The board will look at the petition to make sure it has the right format, dates, and other details, but it will accept the certificate as proof that enough people signed it, without counting the signatures again.
