The city is looking for citizens to help draft the “for” and “against” statements surrounding the change of classification from a second class city to a non-charter code city operating under Chapter 35A.02 RCW, and adopt the council-manager plan of government and abandon the council-mayor plan of government.

The measure will be on the Nov. 5, 2013, general election ballot and statements for and against the measure will appear in the Kitsap County-issue voter’s pamphlet.

The administrative rules of the Kitsap County Local Voter’s Pamphlet is posted on the city’s website at www.cityofportorchard.us.

Anyone interested in helping to create a statement for either side is asked to call City Clerk Brandy Rinearson at (360) 876-7030, by 4 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2013.
