}~yor Armstrong said that at the meeting i~th members of the Legislature
Councilman Siller and Councilman Tingle had an objection ~o the way the charter
changes were presented. He said they had a right to object if they didn't feel
it v~s don9 correctly. It seemed from the press all of this was something they
never heard before. He added that each Charter Change can be voted upon separately
i~th a little more expense and work for the attorney.
CouncillI'.an Siller said he v'as not a'.rare this vJaS going to be a package deal.
Hayor Armstrong said they ,,:ere in a hurry to get this to the legislature but
it can be broken down for the people to vote on.
CounciL~n Siller said he would go along with it if it is broken do~n. He stated
that in checking'the mimltes he found no one ever stated whether it would be a
Dackage deal or voted on individually.
}~yor Ar.mstrong said it vQll be broken dovm into itemized changes so the voters
~~ll have a chbice.
C~lncilman Tingle said he did not go along with voting yes or no for the whole
thing. He said that is why he objected at the meeting with members of the legislature.
He said the City Attorney should have informed us we could break it dovm later.
l1ayor Armstrong said the City Council will direct the City Attorney on what
manner they want it presented to the people.
CouncilIT~ Siller asked if it should be re-submitted, specifically stating
that each item ~~ll be voted upon individually.
I\1a.:>'or Armstrong said No; the council mst prepare how it is to be voted upon.
}tr. Joseph Blauvelt said there should be an item in the ne1~spaper to clarify
the whole thing. 7.here seems to be a difference of opinion on this. He said
maybe the' legislature thought the'Y'e W'., '~e objections to it and 1~11 not approve
the changes.
Hayor Armstrong said he talked to them after the meeting and explained the
whole thing to them.
Councilman Siller asked if Ne shouldn't add an attacl111'.ent stating that each
change v~ll be voted uron individually.
}~yor Armstrong said it was not necessary as this ~i~llation is tied to the
changes submitted to the legislatUl~e.
1:~. Bebbington asked ~out the surrlus funds from the sewer project that were
