The council directed the county clerk to put fluoridation on the November ballot but state law and an error in the statute create legal questions. City Clerk verification and a petition by Ed Bauman aim to force a public vote, with 387 signatures needed by Sept 16. The council plans to rescind its resolution at the Sept 9 meeting.
