Five voters registered in Bloomington can establish a committee for the purpose of recalling an elected officer of the city whose term expires more than 300 calendar days before the filing of a recall petition. The committee must file with the city clerk the name of the officer whose removal is sought, a statement of the grounds for removal in less than 250 words, its intention to initiate the recall, and the names and addresses of the members of the committee. Within 5 business days of receiving the filing, the city clerk must determine whether the committee filing complies with this section and if so provide a certificate to at least one member of the committee. If the filing is noncompliant, then the city clerk shall notify at least one member of the committee within 5 business days. A copy of this certificate must be attached to each signature paper and no signature paper can be put into circulation previous to certification.
