Ballot initiative aims to give voters more influence
A citizen’s initiative to abolish the current Estes Park Urban Renewal Authority and require voter approval to create another authority took another step forward Wednesday as organizers submitted petitions with more than 360 names to the town clerk. The clerk’s office will proceed to verify the petition before issuing a statement indicating if a sufficient number of valid voter signatures were present. The petition organizers need 226 valid signatures. The statement of sufficiency will be issued no later than 30 days from July 8.
