HOME RULE: to proceed
From Page 1
Local's
son
Snider agreed that the City
should not be handcuffed to the
whim of the compromising state
legislature, which appears only
interested in the big cities. "We
must be able to make our
decision locally, and not have the
made for us in Austin", Hargrave
said. Snider added, "We must be
able to progress or stay like we
are and fall back."
Ericson said people don't
normally criticize government for
being too slow, rather too fast,
"But I don't want to leave it in
the hands of the State, cither."
Ralph Johnson indicated that
his main concern was "old vacant
buildings, many of which are rat
infested."
Ericson pointed out that if the
vote turned out to proceed, it
would not necessarily be an
affirmative vote in favor of the
final written document. Norman
also polhted cut dial if the vote is
to proceed, then each member
should be dedicated to his elected
duty to help write the charter and
not leave it in the hands of a few.
When the vote was finally
taken, voting to proceed with the
writing of die charter were
Snider, Cox, Hargrave, James
Satterwhite, Cathy Howe and
John Rubner. The advocates
generally felt that they should
attempt to write the best charter
possible, then let the citizens
make the ultimate decisions.
Norman and Jdhnson voted
against proceeding. Braun
abstained from voting, feeling
that all of the Commission should
be present to make the decision;
as did Chairman Ericson, who
said she was simply undecidcd.
The next move then was to
proceed with writing of a new
Home Rule Charter. The group
agreed it would be better to work
in subcommittees on specific
sections then bring them together
to be actcd on by the Committee
as a whole.
Basically, the major areas arc:
(1) Powers of the City;
(2) Form of government;
(3) City manager and
departments;
(4)Ordinances;
(5) Municipal elections;
(6) Initiation of refcrendums
and recall;
And (7) Municipal finances.
The Denver City Home Rule
Charter was believed to be a good
basic format to use as a guideline;
and each member was to be given
a copy of dial charter and decide
which areas tlicy would prefer to
work in.
The Commission agreed to
meet again in two weeks, on July
31, at 7:30 p.m. in the City
Council chambers.
Members absent from the
meeting included John Kildow,
Paul Ogdcn, Don Cates, Roger
Neitsch, and James Kidd.
Councilman Carl Bennett and
Gene Dow were also present at
the meeting.
