Article 13, Section 13-8 : There needs to be a clarification <br /> of the beginning of the term of office of a department head, <br /> to avoid the conflict that existed at the beginning of the <br /> Carpenter administration . If it is the intent that -depart- <br /> ment heads stay on until their successor is approved by the <br /> Council , the charter should say that . The word "qualified" <br /> causes confusion in this area and should either be deleted, <br /> if the intent is for the department head to take office along <br /> with the mayor , or replaced with the word "confirmed" if that <br /> is the intent . We would suggest ,that the word "qualified" be <br /> deleted. Allowing outgoing department heads to remain in <br /> office after their appointing authority has left office could <br /> lead to abuses in both the confirmation process and the <br /> operational process and the operational process and could <br /> leave the mayor in a conflicting situation with his cabinet <br /> during the formulative days of a new administration . <br /> Thank you <br /> • <br /> • I <br /> li <br /> i I <br /> 651 <br /> • <br /> r <br />
