I would rather use the word <br /> "broad" rather than "vague". It is very broad and the intent, <br /> I think, is to give the mayor some authority, expressly, to <br /> supervise the executive departments. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Mr. Trulson, did you have a <br /> motion? <br /> MR. TRULSON: Yes. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Was there a second to that? <br /> MR. OMONAKA: Second. <br /> MR. CADINHA: Mr. Chairman. Discussion.
