with the Douglas County Prosecutor in an effort to resolve the
conflict over proposed "advisory ballot" issues that the County
Commission requested be placed on the general election to be held
November 3, 1987.
' The City Attorneys were instructed to respond not later than the
close of business on Friday, October 2, 1987, to determine if a
settlement agreement can be reached. If no settlement is reached
the attorneys are instructed to file an action to enjoin the
Douglas County Auditor from placing the advisory issues on the
November election ballot.
