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