He mentioned Article II, <br />Section 16, Legislative procedures and Section 17, Powers of the Council. He stated that <br />Article 1, Section 2, states that University City has a Council/Manager form of government <br />and to remove the City Attorney from the power of the City Manager is a violation of the <br />Charter. He stated that with Council hiring the City Attorney, the attorney could possibly <br />change after every municipal election. Mr. Price wanted to know with this bill who the <br />attorney was going to report to and who would execute the position. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft said managing the City Attorney would be the least problem, as Council rules by <br />the majority. He stated the Director of Law was set up by an ordinance and is not governed <br />by the Charter. <br /> <br />Mr. Crow felt it was a violation of the City Charter. He stated this bill moved the position <br />from being professional to being political. <br /> <br /> 5 <br /> <br />
