City Manager Marant suggested that this letter might be inappropriate because the Commission gave the City Attorney and the City Manager specific direction to review, revise and present to them an ordinance that we had prepared. He asked the City Attorney to clarify whether the discussion pertained to the ordinance drawn by up by the City Attorney or the ordinance presented by Mr. Walden. City Attorney Adler stated that both ordinances covered the same subject matter, with the exception being that the ordinance prepared by the City Attorney eliminated any unnecessary parts. He said the commission had complete control and could act in any way it saw fit. L;. City Manager Marant recommended two changes in the ordinance if the Commission did chose to act upon it. That the ordinance include a provision for specs and bid, and that the City Commission be established as the regulatory board for any rate increases.

Commissioner Bertino stated he would not want anything on the agenda that would be in violation of a Court Order.

He objected to putting bid specifications in the City Charter. He also stated contract negotiations should not be brought into a discussion of charter change.
