for doing that - -is they actually redrafted that language so that we are doing the same <br />thing as what we passed on first reading, but we are actually cleaning up the language so <br />that we have the appropriate language for a Charter amendment versus initiative and <br />referendum. I think it is Communication 214. <br />CHR. HAITSUKA: It's Communication 212. I'm sorry, I misspoke, it is Comm. 212. <br />MS. JARMAN: Okay, Communication 212. Is the 15% different? <br />MS.
