Dear Mr. DeConcini :
am writing you as attorney for a number of residents of the
Town of Oro Valley, who are interested in seeing the town main-
tain its incorporated status.
We have reason to believe that the residents who favor disin-
corporation are prepared to ffle petitions seeking to disIncor-
porate within the next few days.
So that we all will not have to suffer the incriminatibtal and
haluciations that recently attend the resignation of the past
mayor, we suggest and would appreciate your setting the guide-
lines and procedure for those who file petitions and those who
contest their validity, number, etc.
It appears to us that the Code is somewhat lacking in providing
specifics for disincorporating.
For instance we have the following questions :
1. The Code speaks of the requirement of 2/3 ' s of the registered
voters residi_na in the town. Does this mean, therefore, that
this is 2/3 ' s of the voters who presently (today) reside in the
town?
2. Apparently, provision is made for filing the wtitions with
the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. How long does the Clerk
hold ther7 Who is advised of the filing? What opportunity do
opponents of disincorporation have to examine them? How are
questions as to the validity or form of the signatures and
petitions raised?
