(KLZA)--Richardson County Clerk Mary Eickhoff has notified Humboldt Mayor Robert Mendenhall and the members of the City Council that a sufficient number of signatures have been gathered on a recall petition to force a recall election for Mayor Mendenhall.

The Humboldt City Council must set the date for the recall election and then notify the County Clerk's office. 

121 of the 132 signatures on the recall petition were found to be valid.  113 signatures were required to find the recall petition sufficient.

The recall petition was circulated by Mary White who said the voters in Humboldt have lost confidence in the Mayor who is serving his first term in office.
