Note: Ordinance approved by vote of the people.
The appropriation and/or expenditure of public funds/revenue
in excess of one million dollars (inclusive of financing) by any city
representative or representatives, or agency (inclusive of housing
authorities and/or redevelopment agencies) for the redevelopment or
development of public facilities, shall be contingent on a mandate
expressed by the registered voters of the city of Lawndale, county
of Los Angeles. For purposes of this section, the term "a mandate
expressed by the registered voters" means approval by a majority of
those registered voters of the city voting on any ballot measure submitted
to them as required by this section and the term "public funds/revenue"
means all funds administered or controlled by the city. This section
shall not apply to any appropriation and/or expenditure where the
action of the city representative or representatives or city agency
in approving an appropriation or expenditure is administrative in
nature and not legislative, or where this section is in conflict with
or preempted by state or federal law.
(Prior code § 2-9-1; Ord. 567-88 § 1)
Section 2.72.010 shall not be construed to require an election on:
A.
The
conduct of feasibility studies, design work, or other planning or
preconstruction activity, so long as no commitment has been made to
construct the public facility;
B.
The
maintenance, repair, or operation of any public facility;
C.
The
redesign or modification of any public facility during construction
which has already received voter approval, provided that the cost
of any such redesign or modification does not exceed ten percent of
the original expenditure and/or appropriation approved by the voters.
