Charter Commission. Mr. Engh stated that current language says there shall
be a review from time to time but does not say how that process will take place.

ramifications that might now be present during a pre -election period. The
change would mean that the salaries would be reviewed annually but does not
say that you have to change salaries. The ordinance would automatically be
published annually. It also makes it a Council action rather than someone else
in administration.
