The following items were changed from her draft and will be incorporated in her re-draft : ( 1 ) § 5 . 02 - The committee may obtain a sample petition . . . ; ( 2 ) §5 . 04 - 10 days will be allowed for each review of the petition by the city ; (3 ) §5 . 05 - insert "proposed ordinance " where relevant . The commission decided a legal opinion would be required about whether we should refer to financial and budget ordinances in §5 . 05 as in the Model Charter . No section for Recall had been drafted . The commission discussed the use of Recall , comments from Mr . Kennedy ' s memo and questioned exactly how state law operates when there is malfeasance or nonfeasance . The commissioners also felt a definition of malfeasance should be obtained . No consensus was reached on whether to remove the Recall section from the charter , limit its operation to cases of nonfeasance or malfeasance or delete the entire reference to recall . Further discussion was postponed until additional information could be obtained . Review of Chapter 4 ' s most recent re-draft : Richard Oman distributed his re-draft of Chapter 4 and explained the few minor changes made since the previous draft . The notice used in §4 . 01 will also be referred to in §4 . 05 , subd . 2 and subd . 5 for uniformity .
