A. Any elector dissatisfied with a ballot title filed with the City Elections Officer by the City Attorney or Council may petition the City Council seeking a different title and stating the reasons the title filed is insufficient, not concise, or unfair. The petition shall be filed not later than the seventh business day after the title is filed with the City Elections Officer. The Council shall review the title and measure to be initiated or referred, hear arguments, if any, and certify to the elections officer a title for the measure that meets the requirements of applicable state law.

B. The review by the City Council shall be the first and final review, and shall be conducted expeditiously to insure the orderly and timely circulation of the petition or conduct of the election at which the measure is to be submitted to the electors. (Ord. 9-1993 § 5, 1993.)
