v E `. r • 5/23/79 Meeting KLECKNER: Well , may be it' s our prerogative to define it whether it gets accepted or not; but you know we are in a_ positi'on to define it, but the thing is headed with the term administrative supervision, it doesn't say operational supervision; it doesn't say, it doesn't specify other types of supervision but they talk about administrative supervision and that term in itself is very broad and very general . The way ,I feel that perhaps it has functioned or being interpreted at least up to now is a very loose interpretation because previous to that they talk about the semiautonomous nature of the Department of Water Supply and I think that has to be taken into account when you look at this particular statement for some of the other departments won' t have the same meaning.

But they're still going to have drafts and revisions with the attorneys and the deadline for a special election is November 3rd of 1979 and so that when I did discuss this matter with the Corporation Counsel, Steve Bess, before he left for the mainland, he said you know another thing, too, you know this is going to be the first time that we're going to discuss it, we've mentioned about it but we've never sat down and discussed it that you know it's not necessary for you to take any action you know at any specific kind of meeting, but again it' s the wishes of the majority of this Commission and so that we can then look at it and we can still consider it for further consideration. It's not--- IIDA: But you see, well you know I 'm thinking supposing if you know whatever, let's suppose we don't make any appearances and theCharter Commission is swayed -24-
