City Manager Alan Tandy reviewed Committee information regarding the
proposed Charter amendments, tentatively to be scheduled for the March 1996
ballot. A proposed Charter change in Section (185) 3 would allow for a wider
pool of current Fire Department personnel to be eligible for open positions of ..'
Assistant and Deputy Fire Chiefs than is currently allowed. A second amendment,
the proposed repeal of Section (217b)10b, would allow removal of layoff
provisions within this section from the Charter and placement within the Municipal
Code. The placement of this issue on the ballot was part of a bargaining
agreement reached between the miscellaneous employees and the City. The
third issue involved the placement of Council member residency on the ballot for
verification. All three issues will be revisited at the Committee meeting of October
5, 1995.
Costs in connection with placing advisory measures on the ballot were also
discussed.
Staff was directed to forward an information memo to Council informing them of
