Charter Commission - Transcript of Meeting of July 12, 2000Page 2 of 45 <br />would be better to take effect the first Monday in December which is the beginning of the Mayor’s term, <br />just on the odd possibility, among other things, if the Managing Director, for some reason, wasn’t <br />qualified for the last month. But it would be more orderly to bring it into effect with the start of the new <br />Mayor’s term. But when we voted on this last time, there were not actually six votes to change that. <br />MARTIN: So you need a vote directly on what you just said or do we have to amend the vote that we <br />took on the last implementation of that time line? <br />YUEN: The motion would just be to change it so the amendment would take effect at noon on the first <br />Monday in December following its approval by the voters. <br />MARTIN: So moved. <br />IRVINE: Second. <br />RAY: Okay, discussion. Is that clear to everybody? All in favor? <br />COMMISSIONERS: Aye. <br />RAY: Okay, opposed? Item B. <br />YUEN: The Department Head Qualifications. This is Charter Amendment No. 7, and this was changed <br />at the last meeting so that we would include in No. 7, that the Chief Engineer would be changed to <br />Director of Public Works. So what I did was in the language of No. 7, I went and included the sections <br />of the Charter that would have to be changed in order to do that, and I hope I got them all. But there are <br />three or four places in the Charter that mentions the Chief Engineer. The Commission should just simply <br />vote to adopt this as the actual language. <br />RAY: So, a motion as to adopt No. 7 as presented to the Commission? <br />YUEN: Yes. <br />YOSHIYAMA: So moved. <br />HIGASHI: Second. <br />RAY: Okay, discussion. Yes, George. <br />MARTIN: Chris, with this, you don’t foresee any more changes that’s going to be needed, yeah? I mean, <br />we can always vote again and it’s not a problem, but, this should be it? <br />YUEN: Yes, I think we’re very close to our deadlines and this was meant to be the final, final, final; <br />what we did today. There were a few changes made at the May 31st meeting that I’ve put in here. <br />They’ve been voted on in substance but the actual language hasn’t been approved, and three others are <br />the ones that need to be done. <br />RAY: Any more discussion? All in favor? <br />COMMISSIONERS: Aye. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 07-12-00.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
