Council Minutes of 09-15-2015 Director of Law Gareau: • On September 9, 2015, he issued a legal opinion concerning the request of Council for an opinion on whether or not the minority party reference inside the Charter is a non-substantive change. This originated during discussions by the Charter Review Commission and was forwarded to City Council. He believes that since the city has gone to a non-partisan election process, that that particular section can be deemed non-substantive in character and corrected via a process other than going before the electorate to modify the Charter. If Council wishes to proceed further, a legislative request would be submitted. Director of Finance Copfer: • No report.
