§ 17-127. Traffic-calming petition; choice of measures.

(a)

Following the public hearing at which the board of commissioners accepts the recommended or alternative measures, the department director or designee shall provide the initiator with a traffic-calming petition form to be used for recording all of the signatures. The petition must set forth the traffic-calming measures approved by the board of the commissioner that shall be the subject of the vote and the eligible petitioners will thereby have the opportunity to vote in favor or in opposition to the approved measures. No other measure may be included on the petition.

(b)

The initiator is responsible for circulating the traffic-calming petition to all eligible petitioners in the affected area.

(c)

A traffic-calming petition must be returned to the department within ninety (90) days of the board of commissioners' decision allowing the installation of traffic-calming measures or it will be deemed abandoned and no further action shall be taken on the traffic calming petition or the initial interest petition from which it arose.

(d)

The traffic-calming petition shall indicate the full name, signature, home address date, and daytime telephone number for each person signing the selection petition.

(e)

The tax records maintained by the county's tax commissioner and board of tax assessors shall control in determining whether a signatory to the petition is a real property owner and thus an eligible petitioner.

(f)

In the event that the board of commissioners votes to reject the department's recommendation no further action shall be taken with respect to traffic calming measures for at least twelve (12) months.
