Reports From Chair, Commissioners and Staff: <br /> <br />EDA Liaison Duane McCarty noted that the Council will be reviewing the <br />discrepancey between the City Code and the Charter regarding the amount of votes <br />needed to pass an ordinance. The Charter states that only a 3/5th vote is needed and <br />the Code states that a 4/5th vote is needed. Currently, the Charter provision <br />overrides the City Code. These types of discrepancies can have a big impact on the <br />way decisions are made at the Council level. <br /> <br />7.
