This issue is before the <br />Commission as a result of a question to the City Attorney whether the entire Charter should have a <br />severability clause rather than just Chapter 4? The City Attorney's felt it would be prudent for the <br />Commission to consider adding a whole Charter clause, examples from other charters were also provided <br />for consideration. The Commission consensus was to pursue this issue at the next meeting. <br />D. Charter Codification process. Secretary B. Amundsen explained that some punctuation issues have been <br />brought to the Chair and Secretary's attention by American Legal, who the City has contracted to codify the <br />Charter amendments. The City Attorney feels these issue need to be addressed by the Commission with a <br />resolution to amend the Charter.
