??. Veto of Ordinance 2002-51 Page 2 very remote. Notwithstanding the aforesaid statement and with full knowledge thereof, all of the then members of Council - O'Grady, Nashaz, McKay, Limpet and Gareau Jr. voted to pass Ordinance 1997-122 notwithstanding the reasons for the veto of Mayor Boyle. These five council members, by voting against Mayor Boyle's veto, not only rejected the philosophy of Mayor Boyle's veto memorandum, they agreed with the broad substance of Ordinance 1997-122. It is my opinion that Ordinance 1997-122 should not be considered for repeal until a decision is made by the voters in Navember, 2002 with regards to the Charter Amendment being proposed by Ordinance No. 2002-20. The major thrust of Ordinance 2002-20 is that --- A newly elected, first-term Mayor, without the consent or concurrence of Council, may make an interim appointment to fill the vacancy in that Director's office. Said mayor shall be permitted to make, during his or her term of affice, only one interim appointrnent in each Director's office.--- In my opinion the praposed Charter Arnendment is flawed in that an elected Mayor has been given more powers than that of a re-elected Mayor. Under the proposed Charter Amendment a Mayor in office can't appoint interim directors if said Mayor achieved his or her office due to a resignation, death or other incapacity of a sitting Mayor and a re- elected Mayor can't appoint interim directors regardless of any reason whatsoever. With all of this said, I hereby place my VETO on Ordinance 2002-51. ?. .?, ??r .. . .,????? ,??? ?,,. n ,..,•? ??--??, a,.???-?? ?.?. ,....? ?
