OLD BUSINESS:
A. 5- ab- rommittee Report Regarding Va canci es o n the City Council
Ed Commers, Chair for the sub committee of David Ault, Mona
Hintzman, and himself, stated that the sub committee met on
September 12, 1990, and incorporated all of the proposed wording
changes into a new version of Sections 2.05 and 2.05A.
Following discussion, Ed Commers moved to adopt two more
changes with this latest version. These two changes were:

(1) The first line of the second paragraph in Sec.
2.05A shall read as follows: "In case of a vacancy where
there remains three hundred sixty five (365) days or
more, a special election shall be called."
(2) In Sec. 2.05, subpart (3), the language of "in the
event of conviction of malfeasance in office" shall be
deleted and the original language of "conviction of a
crime involving moral turpitude" be inserted.
Tony Kuefler seconded the motion. The motion passed with a
unanimous voice vote.
B. Buda Revisions Section 7.06:
Gerald Splinter, the City Manager, put forth two
recommendations for changing Sec. 7.06. The proposed changes
were necessary to allow more time for preparing the budget. The
city and county are striving for providing specific notice to
property owners as to how much taxes are changing for accounting
purposes. Mr. Splinter noted that either recommendation will
accomplish the goal of more time: Recommendation #1 is more
generic and Recommendation #2 is date specific and will have to
be continually revised.
Mr. Splinter also made two revisions in Recommendation No.
1. With these revisions, this recommendation read as follows:
"At least thirty (30) days prior to the adoption of a
proposed annual budget and /or property tax levy required
by state law, the City Manager shall submit a
preliminary proposed budget and /or property tax levy to
the City Council. Public hearings, notices of public
hearings, and other legal publication requirements shall
be in accordance with state law."
Tony Kuefler moved that the Commission adopt Recommendation
#1 with the proposed revisions and delete the old language of
Section 7.06. Ed Commers seconded the motion. The motion passed
by a unanimous voice vote.
Chair Sexton stated that the revised versions of Sections 2.05,
2.05A and 7.06 will be forwarded to the City Attorney and the
City Counsel.
