Citing concerns with a study on speed bumps and what he called Councilor Don Harris' failure to return phone calls and correspondence, Southeast Heights resident Jim Lowe is looking to recall the District 9 councilor.

"Almost every (neighborhood and homeowner) association in District 9 is disgusted with Mr. Harris' treatment of his constituents," Lowe said. "He has no interest in what the hell is going on in this community."

Lowe said a Web site that debuts Monday will elaborate on more complaints.

Lowe filed the paperwork Thursday to start a special committee that will support the recall. He said the formal recall papers will be filed Monday afternoon.

Harris says he's not worried about the effort.

"I think this is going to give me a great opportunity to talk about all the great things I'm doing for the district," Harris said.

Speed bumps are a very contentious issue in the Four Hills area, with some seeing them as a major annoyance and others as a necessary traffic calming measure.

Harris sponsored a general study of them, and Lowe calls it a waste of tax dollars.

"Sounds like this group wants something that's impossible, which is someone, to paraphrase Abe Lincoln, who will please everybody all the time," Harris said.

Petitioners will have to get signatures amounting to 25 percent of the number of people who voted in the last election.

The way Lowe reads the City Charter, that means just over 900 signatures, since 3,868 people voted in the runoff election between Harris and Tina Cummins. If the regular election were counted, that total would rise to more than 2,000 signatures.

Either way, the group will have two months to collect the signatures, according to the charter.
