MR. ISHIDA: Stuart, if we do that we just <br /> need to amend Section 3-13 by adding the two-thirds, right? <br /> Then the way you have got 10-8 drafted would be the same <br /> number of votes required. <br /> MR. ODA: I don ' t know, I have to think <br /> about that. I will probably have to redraft the whole <br /> thing. I don ' t know. I will have to wait until next week, <br /> I can 't do it now. <br /> RECESS: At 6: 30 p.m. the Chair called for a dinner recess. <br /> RECONVENE: At 7:45 p.m. the meeting was reconvened. <br /> SECTION 3-13: MR. ODA: I think I have, Mr. Chairman, a <br /> suggested rewording of Section 3-13 and 10-8. <br /> SECTION 10-8: If you will look at the charter, itself, I <br /> think it will be clearer, since we took out <br /> some other things from the xerox provisions that you have. <br /> Page 5 of the charter, first. Are you all following me? <br /> As I understand the past concern, 3-13 did <br /> not authorize the borrowing of money as it presently reads for <br /> emergencies. Okay? To correct that, all we have to do is <br /> add the following language, to the end of the first paragraph, saying <br /> Emergency appropriations may bemade_ pursuant to Section 10-8. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Was that just those words? <br /> MR. ODA: Yes, Emergency appropriations. . . <br /> after the word, franchises, in the first paragraph. The last <br /> word in the first paragraph. Emergency appropriations may be <br /> made pursuant to Section 10-8. <br /> In the second paragraph, just about the middle <br /> of the paragraph, where Mr. Ishida was concerned about the <br /> missing portion of that after the words. . .the line begins <br /> on the fifth line with the word, affirmative. . .affirmative <br /> vote of all council members present or by two-thirds of the <br /> entire membership. . .that would make it consistent with 10-8 <br /> so far as the intent is concerned. <br /> MR. SCHUTTE: Or by two-thirds. . <br /> MR. ODA: Or by two-thirds of the entire <br /> membership. Are there any questions on that? <br /> Then on Section 10-8 in the charter on page 24, <br /> everything will read the same as it presently_is- worded but <br /> :1 -would- suggest that in the second paragraph, the second line <br /> beginning with. . .upon written request by the mayor, be deleted <br /> and leave everything else in there. . .To meet a public emergency <br /> affecting life, health or property, the council, - /upon written <br /> request by the mayor7 that be deleted. The reason for that is <br /> -35- <br /> I <br />
