Chairman Heitman pointed out that at one time, Commissioner Sieber suggested reviewing Chapter 10 Franchises. Commissionem Sieber stated that he no longer feels it is necessary to review Chapter 'lO, ithat it was modelled after a city's charter, that city has franchises and must have written the chapter carefully.
