Calgary's city clerk is making plans for dealing with the pending arrival of a large petition that aims to recall Mayor Jyoti Gondek.
A local business owner, Landon Johnston, has been collecting signatures to recall Gondek since early February. Under the terms of the provincial legislation that created the recall process, Johnston must collect more than 514,000 signatures by April 4 in order to force the mayor from office.When that petition lands at the city's election office on or before April 4, the city has to validate whether he reached his goal."As part of that plan, we looked at the resources that would be required in order to manage a petition, a recall petition.
"We have to verify that petition within 45 days of the day that it was submitted. So we certainly have a time clock that we will be watching.""That is why you're seeing us recruiting. It's a step to be prepared. But the scope and the nature of what we may receive in April is a very large amount."In the city's job advertisement, it stated it was looking for as many as 10 clerks who will be paid between $24.96 and $33.38 per hour for the four-month positions.
