Mayor Ledbetter stated the purpose of the meeting is to consider changing Resolution
84-R-47 as there was an error made in 1 isting the two candidates from Zone Two. He
added that he was called and asked why the two names were on the primary 1 ist.
City Attorney Alvarez said he called the candidate who questioned this and read the pro-
visions of the Charter on page 51, Sections 140 and 140A, which establishes the elections.
He said the names shouldn't be on the primary since there weren1t three candidates. He
stated that he made an appointment with Katherine Odham and Mayor Ledbetter went with
him to meet with her. He added that Mrs. Odham was famil iar with it and had already
stricken the names from the bal lot for the primary. He stated that he suggested an
emergency meeting to resolve the matter and that an amending resolution should be adver-
tised at least two times in a large advertisement.
Councilman Wargo moved that they amend Resolution 84-R-47 to comply with the proper
dates and he then withdrew and moved to adopt Resolution 84-R-50 and advertise
accordingly. Councilman Spencer seconded the motion. Councilwoman Bennington arrived
at the meeting at this time, 4:04 P.M. Councilman Asting read from Section 141, and
City Attorney Alvarez noted that it's Sections 140 and 140A. Councilman Asting asked
if they're complying with State law and City Attorney Alvarez repl ied yes. Mr. Frank
Opal, from the audience, called a point of question. Councilman Spencer asked they con-
tinue their business and Councilman Asting agreed. Councilman Spencer noted that an
honest mistake was made and he knows it needs to be changed. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
