The amendment would change section 2.1 of the Charter <br />and provide that the City be governed by the Council-Manager Form of Government. Currently, <br />the City is governed by the Mayor-Council Plan. At its December 5`" meeting the Charter <br />Commission recommended that the City Council enact an ordinance to amend the Charter to the <br />Council-Manager Form of Government. The Charter Commission recommended that the <br />amendment be effective January 1, 2008. The City Council does not have the authority to <br />change that date. Council introduced the proposed ordinance at the December 12, 2006 City <br />Council meeting. The public hearing has been properly advertised for this evening pursuant to <br />State law.. Mr. Goodrich indicated a letter has been distributed from Frank Frederick of the <br />Charter Commission regarding the Charter amendment. Mr. Frederick is very much in favor of <br />the amendment; his letter does not address the date issue. Mr. Goodrich indicated the Charter <br />Commission has discussed this Charter amendment on several occasions. The January 1, 2008 <br />City Council /December 28, 2006 <br />Page 5 of 27 <br />
