The purpose of this amendment is to make the requirements for an <br />elector initiated charter amendment to follow the same process and requirements as for <br />initiative and referendum. <br />Postponed: January 21, 2010 <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Do I have a motion to approve the second reading of CA -16? <br />Ms. Jarman moved to approve CA -16 at <br />second reading. Seconded by Mr. Shumway. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Is there any discussion? Ms. Jarman. <br />MS. JARMAN: I would like to move to amend CA -16 with language from Comm. 214, <br />which was the suggested language from the League of Women Voters and ask permission <br />also to ask Sue Dursin if she would approach if I get a second on my motion. Thank you. <br />Ms. Jarman moved to amend CA -16 with the <br />contents of Communication 214. Seconded by <br />Mr. Shumway. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: Alright, we have a motion pending to amend CA -16 in accordance <br />with the proposed language in Comm. 214. We have a second. Is there any discussion? <br />Ms. Dursin. <br />SUSAN DURSIN <br />(At this time Susan Dursin came forward to address members of the Charter Commission.) <br />MS. JARMAN: In the current version it just says, by petition, which you use the same <br />process as outlined in Article XI. When the League of Women Voters looked through <br />that, they realized that there was some language that would not be appropriate to the <br />Charter. Like, it would say, referendum when it should have said Charter amendment, <br />etcetera. So, what they took upon themselves to do -- and I'm very grateful and thank you <br />32 <br />
