2 <br /> <br />BLUE HERON DAYS <br />Ms. Divine reminded EDAC that Blue Heron Days would feature approximately 45 local <br />businesses at the business expo on August 18. <br /> <br />CHARTER AMENDMENT <br />EDAC reviewed a charter amendment being proposed by the City Council that provides <br />essentially a “reverse referendum” process for road reconstruction rather than the current <br />referendum for all road reconstruction that includes special assessments as part of the funding of <br />the improvement. EDAC members discussed their support of the amendment. Two amendments <br />proposed by the Charter Commission were also reviewed. One amendment would provide <br />addition powers and funding to the Commission, the second would place a tax cap on the city to <br />limit the amount the City Council could levy in a given year. Ms. Divine noted that the city’s <br />bond attorney had not yet provided his opinion on the legality and workability of the two <br />amendments. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned. <br /> <br /> <br />
