The petition submitted last month to put the community’s question of cityhood on the November 2000 ballot was officially sent back by the county today because it lacked 550 valid signatures, officials said.

The Local Agency Formation Commission, the state-created agency that oversees annexations and cityhood drives, has given the committee 15 days to collect the remaining signatures needed to validate the petition.
