ODESSA, Texas —
A petition that would allow citizens to vote on whether the City of Odessa will use certificates of obligation to pay for upgrades to the city’s water treatment plant has fallen short on signatures, according to the city.
During a verification of the petition performed by the Ector County Elections Administrator, it got 2,155 certified signatures out of the 2,923 required.
Odessa City Council previously delayed a vote on the issue in a meeting Tuesday due to the petition.
City council is set to bring the issue back up again on August 3 to vote on the use of certificates of obligation for the project.
