There is something to be said for cleaning up <br /> the entire charter once you've started. On the other hand, there <br /> are some constraints on your time and resources that may make that <br /> impossible. At this point, however, I think that kind of revision <br /> could be done within the budget set up by the City Council for this <br /> work. <br /> Finally, some of the comments refer to legal principles and <br /> authorities that I have not described fully. I hope that <br /> Commission members will feel free to ask me to elaborate on any <br /> point about which they are unclear. <br /> Attachment <br /> DJR43020 <br /> 101125-16 <br />
