The amendment would change Section 2.1 of the Charter and provide that the <br />City be governed by the Council-Manager Form of Government. Currently, the City is governed <br />by the Mayor-Council Plan. At its December 5 meeting, the Charter Commission recommended <br />that the City Council enact an ordinance to amend the Charter to the Council-Manager Form of <br />Government. The Charter Commission recommended that the amendment be effective January <br />1, 2008. Mr. Goodrich reviewed that the Council introduced the recommended ordinance on <br />December 12, 2006, and held a public hearing on December 28, 2006, after properly advertising <br />the hearing. The December 28, 2006 City Council motion was as follows: <br />To adopt Ordinance No. 06-12-_ amending Section 2.1 of the City Charter requiring <br />that the City be governed by the Council-Manager Form of Government with the <br />following change: an effective date of January 2, 2011, contingent on approval by the <br /> <br />City Council / January 9, 2007 <br />Page 9 of 24 <br />
