Contractor's licenses??
The Committee for Community Involvement (CCI) has won in Valley City. The citizens of Valley City stood up and were heard, the three initiated measures passed overwhelmingly tonight.
# 1 Elimination of City Contractor's licenses - Yes 65%
# 2 Elimination of fees for permits 71% Yes
#3 Building permits required only for new construction, adding livable living space and altering the structural integrity of the building. No permits needed for anything else. 76% Yes
Also CCI ran two write in candidates, Jon Wagar and Bob Drake. Jon Wagar came in first with 974 write in votes and Bob Drake came in third with 635 votes, missing being elected by only 65 votes, but beating the incumbent commissioner Bob Werkoven by 127 votes. Mary Lee Nielson, who was on the ballot, came in second. Jon Wagar and Mary Lee are the two new commissioners for Valley City. CCI may have had a clean sweep if it hadn't been for a late, third write in candidate that received 135 votes.
Bob Drake was the man that wrote and filed the three initiated measures that passed tonight, so even though he did not win a seat on the commission he won tonight.
