Stigney/Linke. To waive the reading and adopt Ordinance 742, Amending <br />Section 2.06 of the City Charter regarding Mayor's Powers and Duties, to say that the mayor has <br />no administrative authority. <br />Council Member Stigney stated that this very specifically points out to the entire staff that the <br />mayor has no additional authority over any individual Council member, and that the Council acts <br />as a whole on all of these issues. <br />ROLL CALL: Linke/Quick/Marty/Stigney/Gunn. <br />Ayes-5 Nays-0 Motion carried. <br />C. Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 748, Amending Section 4.05 of <br />• the City Charter regarding Vacancy of Municipal Elected Office (Roll Call <br />Vote). <br />Mayor Linke stated that personally he would like to see an appointment rather than a new <br />election, but that is not what is in the Charter. <br />Barbara Thomas stated that they weren't making drastic changes. She stated that should the <br />Council at any time wish the Charter to look at making a more significant change to the Charter, <br />they would be more than willing to do so. She stated that this change was merely to clarify time <br />lines. <br />Mayor Linke stated he would like them to look at a process to eliminate the Charter, but that was <br />his opinion. <br />Council Member Stigney stated that these changes resulted from questions that City Staff had <br />directed to the Charter Commission, and that this was the response back from the Charter <br />Commission. <br />MOTION/SECOND.
