The proposal was <br />distributed to the council at their work session that evening, thus commencing the <br />statute defined schedule for consideration of this type of amendment. <br />Consideration of the proposed amendment has transpired as follows: <br />> A public hearing notice was published on August 11, 2009. <br />> The public hearing was held and first reading of the ordinance approved on <br />September 8, 2009; <br />The statute further requires that within one month of the public hearing (by October <br />8), the council must vote on the proposed charter amendment ordinance. The <br />ordinance is enacted only if it receives an affirmative vote of all members of the <br />council. <br />If the ordinance is enacted, it will be properly signed and published as required by <br />the city charter. There is a minimum 90-day delay before the amendment becomes <br />effective during which a 60-day period is allowed for submission of a registered voter <br />petition for referendum (thus commencing a new process for ballot consideration). If <br />no petition is received, the amendment becomes final and will be properly filed and <br />placed into the city charter. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
