tions of two citizens committees which had met over the past fifteen years. He summarizeb the
suggested technical revisions as follows:
Measure !'4i, 1: i4oti d accomplish modifications to Section ?-1 ane 3-7(a` which would make those
sections consistent with the 1.2i N Charter amendment which provided fcr a directly elected mayor.
This would also chanoo Section 3-7(b) tr make it consistent with state law which required that for
thepurpeses of Proper public notification, meetings of local legislative bodies be publicly noticed
24 hours in advance, rather than three hours for special meetings as drovided in the present section,
Also this would modify Section 6-2 by chargint the title of Vice-President to Vice-rayor: and
would repeal Article 24 concerning ofF-street vehicular parking in its entirety as this would rcneal
Article 24 concerning cff-street vohicular parking in its entirety at this vehicle was ho
necessary because the bonds sold under this section were paid of anc state law row was available
to sell additional Ponds if it were ever determined to t.e necessary. Piirther, this would modify
Section 17-A which now provided that the City Council adopt a budget and fir the tax rate between
the first day and the tHrO Tuesday in September of eacn year, to state that the CGUrICi l. shall
do so not later than the third Tuesday in September of each year, Section 17-4 would also be

and it was sutoested a flexible percentage he utilized 1 nsteac dcth of these changes in Section
17-4 would update and imnrovo the financial admdnistration of the City. Finally this measure would
provide for repeal of iectich 22-6 ih its entlrety which would eliminate reference to a section at
loast 3C years old, governing the payment fer copies of Public records and their certification,
Goss stated reasure No, I covered a number of proposed technical amendments and it might create less
confusion on thP ballot if divided into two measures, with one covering the amendments proposed frr
Section 17-4,
easure No. 3: Would modify Secticn 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 so that it wouid 00 consistent with the voters'
decision i,fl 197;) tc provide for a directly elected mayor and would eliminate the il'a)ditor-P-ssessor
and Treasurer-Tax Collector as elected officialsi these two charoes would not only change the status
of the Auditor ard Treasurer from elected vt appointed officials bv the City Council, tut also would
permit the City Council te establise qualifications for the two positions, modify the salary levels
of the positions annually or at otter times at the discretion of the Cofncil rather than every 'cur
years, and would be a step toward Establishing in the long term a stronger position for these positions
in the administratior cf the city's fiscal affairs. riedifications of Section 2-3 would add the Personnel
Director to the list of officeYs stated in the Charter which are appointed by the City E',nacer, as
this was Presently beino done, and wbuld add the Director of Recreation ard Parks to the Departmental
officers 0c the city and retitle the position of City Engine:or to Public Yorks director,

he published in full wton three days after Passage, which was very exgensive, and did not give
the public any prior notice that the ordinance was being considered for adoption. Fe reported
the City cf flaklane following the procedure of other legislative bodies in that they Published a
didest, or summary. of the prepesed ordinance prior to t passage. Mr. floss noted the City Clerk
aud tee City Atte-hey Drowsed this amendment.
Measure No. 1Lould provide for the repeal of most of Article 1D, as well as modification of
Sections 1D-2. 2-d and 22 The effect of the amendment would Pc to permit the use of the states
ggneral law Procedures for eietitions and to change the date cf the eeneral municipal election from
the second TuesCay in March to the days specified by general law, or, if do date wes so specified,
on a date set by rescietion of the City Council, in each odd numbered year. Mr. Goss reported

the City shell faye the right to anpeal to the Civil Service Floard epen dismissal.
Measure No. 1/1: lnould change Section 2-F: concerning residency requiremEnts of Department heeds
and their assistants ard deputies to conform lc the state constitution. Mr. Co- s said there did
not appear te be any current hardship regarthind the current Charter stipulation, and ne would
recommend it be deferred for submission lo the electmte at a later time.
Mr. flute stated he would also recommend the following subseantive revisions be considered for
inclosion or the No‘enber General Election ballot.
Measdre tC cold or a rew Section 2-14 which would limit eligibility for elective office te
two complete consecutive terns, except for the effices of uditor cr Treasurer,
Measure No. ifl. 'would modify Section 2-7 and add Section 2-7.5 concerning vacancies in local
elective gffice, This would mean that the current procedure would euely if the vacancy took
plece less than one year from the next municipal electioni and Sectien 2-7.5 would pertain tc
vacancies of pne year or mere fron the next municipal election ard would provide that such vacancies
be filleg 0\/ special election,
Measures or 11, 12, 13: Concerned the circumstance where e member of the City Council would run
for the office of Mayor, Measure No. 11 weuld add a new Seetiign 19-12.Fl grovidine that in the
event a vacancy occurred by the election cf an incumbent Councilman to the office et Mayor, a candi-
date with the highest number of votes whb woo not seated by the election would 5e elected to the

tor the conditional seat by voting for co more Council seat than otherwise would be vacant, and
if the vacancy (I':6 occur, then the Council candidate receiving the highest number of votes who was
not seated by election to the regular Ccuncil seat would be elected to the vacated post. Mr. Coss
said these measures should be carefully considered as Measure No. 11 was mbtually inconsistent
with Measures 12 ere 13,
Mr. Goss stated if the Council were to consider any of the above Measures fc,r inclusion on the June
ballot, It would be necessary that their final action Pc taken by Marco 17,

been previously discessed apg rejected. Other possible long term public uses considered were that
the building be used te locate the Historical Museum, and proeosals were received from the public
during the l'CDA hearires that the buildirg be converted to a senior center, or e senior/youth cuter,
His further advice was that if the Counci ! did rot se that therc was any' particular peed tor the
building, that it should probably be declarer excess and sold, be stated he would recommend intrlm
uses for the building the time between its actual reuse or sale consisting ef its use fen
temporary office space and storage. He reported requests had been made by the public to US2 the
building for various civic purposes, and on ar interim basis tliee should be no objection te such
uses es lono as they were properly supervised are administered ir accordance with d rrcrer
