OLD BUSINESS
*Section 2.05. COUNCI VACANCIES:
Vice Chairperson Wolfe asked for comments regarding the two page ordinance format
(dated May 13, 1992) received from the City Attorney regarding Section 2.05 and
Section 3.01. Many members felt the wording was not clear, especially concerning
the third sentence of Section 2.05A. Some members felt Section 4.03 and possibly
others should also be looked at, as they may also be affected by the proposed
charter change. Several members expressed difficulty in reading the proposed
ordinance and suggested that future such remittances from the City Attorney be
double spaced with lines numbered for ease of discussion.
After considerable discussion, motion was made by Ron Christensen, seconded by
Everett Lindh, to appoint a new sub committee to deal with this issue.
