City Council Moves To Refer Charter To Legislature
At a lively meeting yesterday the council acted to have the charter revision committee’s draft sent to the legislature. Alderman Woodward’s resolution would bar any charter committee member from serving on city boards for a year after the revised charter’s adoption, a measure that would affect several current officials and likely shape city government. The council then passed a second, heated resolution demanding a full report from the charter revision committee.
