Subject:RE: Certification of Terminal Date for Petition – City of Renton Initiative Regarding
Raising the Minimum Wage
Hello Chelseyann,
The City requests that the initiative be called Initiative Measure No. 23-01. That way, we can number future petitions
numerically by year received. Thank you,

Hello Chelseyann,
Thank you very much for this info! I am looping this back to Jason at City Hall, hoping to find out if a determination has
been made on an initiative number for this petition. Jason, I have been told here that the City assigns initiative measure
numbers, although, in a separate email I understood that KCE assigns this number.
It is my hope, if still possible and if a number hasn't yet been assigned, to assign I-19 or I-119 as the initiative number as
our campaign hopes to assign a unique identifying number for this measure. Please let me know if this is still possible!
Apologies for any confusion in my misunderstanding of this step of the process.
Thank you,
Guillermo

Hi Guillermo,
Thank you for reaching out regarding the petition.

Initiative measure numbers are assigned by the City. Typically, the initiative measure numbers
are sequential, starting with #1 for the very first initiative in the city and increasing as they
receive more initiatives.
Thank you,

Hello,
Thank you kindly for this notice! We are looking forward to this process.
I have one question regarding the Initiative number. Unfortunately we were not aware we had the option of choosing
one, if it's not too late, we have listed some below in order of preference, we are unsure the rules around what
numbers are allowed or not allowed.
Initiative 19
2
Initiative 119
Initiative 145
Initiative 145
Please do let us know if these are available.
Thank you,
Guillermo

Hi Jason,
Attached is the certification of the terminal date for the City of Renton petition you submitted.
Our office will begin canvassing signatures on Tuesday, July 11 at 9 a.m. The canvassing
process will take place at the King County Elections office in Renton and may be observed by
persons representing the advocates and opponents of the proposed petition. In order to
prevent any undue delay or disruption to the canvassing process, King County Elections will
limit the number of observers to a maximum two (2) observers on each side. We will also be
updating our website with the number of signatures verified at the end of each day and you
can virtually watch staff process the petition.
Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
