A recall petition against Getzschman was filed on September 24, 2014, and against Johnson on September 29, 2014. Supporters had until October 24, 2014, to 3,526 signatures, 35 percent of the votes cast in the most recent mayoral election, for Getzschman. In Johnson's recall, supporters had until October 29, 2014 to collect 783 signatures. The city clerk would have had 15 days following submission to verify the signatures.
