or counted. If more than one vote per parcel is submitted and the ballots for that parcel are not dated, the replacement ballot will be counted and any other votes for the same parcel will not be accepted or counted. 8. The City will only accept official ballots issued by the City. If a ballot is lost, withdrawn, destroyed, or never received, the City will mail or otherwise provide a replacement ballot to the owner upon receipt of a request delivered to the City. The replacement ballot will be marked to identify it as a replacement ballot. Any request for a replacement ballot to be mailed to another location must include evidence, satisfactory to the City, of the identity of the person requesting the ballot. The same procedure applies to replacement ballots which are lost, withdrawn, destroyed, or never received. 10. If a Stormwater Fee Amendment ballot is returned by the United States Post Office as undeliverable, the City may mail a redelivered ballot to the current property owner, if updated ownership and/or owner mailing address can be determined. The redelivered ballot will be marked to identify it as a replacement ballot. 11.

To complete a Stormwater Fee Amendment ballot, the owner of the parcel or his or her authorized representative must (1) mark the appropriate box supporting or opposing the proposed Stormwater Fee Amendment, and (2) sign, under penalty of perjury, the statement on the ballot that the person completing the ballot is the owner of the parcel or the owner's authorized representative. Only one box may be stamped or marked on each ballot. All substantially incomplete or improperly marked ballots shall be disqualified from the tabulation. The Tabulator will retain all such invalid ballots. 13. After returning a Stormwater Fee Amendment ballot to the City Clerk, the person who signed the ballot may withdraw the ballot by submitting a written statement to the City directing the City to withdraw the ballot. Such statement must be received by the City prior to the close of the balloting period. When ballots for the Stormwater Fee Amendment are tabulated, the City Clerk will segregate withdrawn ballots from all other returned ballots. The City will retain all withdrawn ballots and will indicate on the face of such withdrawn ballots that they have been withdrawn. 14. In order to change the contents of a ballot that has been submitted, the person who has signed that ballot may (1) request that such ballot be withdrawn, (2) request that a replacement ballot be issued, and (3) return DRAFT
