of Loop South thereof from Kingsland Ave. To a point two hundred and eight (208) feet east, <br />and from Leland to a point three hundred and thirty (330) feet west thereof; containing a <br />saving clause and providing a penalty. <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft moved to postpone till June 21, 2010, meeting, seconded by Mr. Price and carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />2. <br />BILL 9075 – An ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 6810, and approving the first <br />amendment to the redevelopment agreement for the Kingsland Walk redevelopment area, <br />and authorizing certain actions by city officials. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft moved to postpone till June 21, 2010, meeting, seconded by Mr. Price and carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />M. NEW BUSINESS <br />RESOLUTIONS <br /> <br />BILLS <br />Mr. Kraft introduced <br />1. <br />BILL 9074 – An ordinance amending Chapter 2.12.010 of the University City <br />Municipal Code, relating to the appointment of the City Attorney. <br /> <br />Ms. Watson had concerns that it would be a violation of City Charter stating the City <br />Charter is pretty clear that the City Manager is responsible for all the administration of <br />the City’s affairs. This bill does consider the office of the City to appoint and when for <br />the good of the City to remove all officers and employees of the City. She said this <br />bill does create the Office of the City Attorney which sounds like it appointment and <br />approval would be by the Council and not the City Manager and does have concerns <br />that it is not in accord with the Charter. Ms. Watson stated the second item of the <br />Charter which talks about the interference with the Administrative office and the <br />employees of the City and has concerns but is not an attorney and could not give <br />legal opinion. She is requesting a legal opinion on the issue before proceeding. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft called for a Point of Order. He said the bill had not been introduced yet. He <br />said it is to be read for the first time and during the second and third reading the <br />discussion should take place. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Sharpe said that prior to it being introduced, the Council needs to get <br />some kind of legal opinion. He asked for a motion to get the Interim City Manager to <br />get a legal concept as to whether or not it is legal. Number one we do not want to <br />get into anything that is in violation of the City’s Charter. <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft stated that we are only introducing it tonight and not voting on it. He noted <br />that it is only being introduced and is not being questioned of its legality. Mr. Kraft <br />said it has been run by a number of attorneys and written by attorneys, so he has no <br />question as to its legality. He said there is no need for a vote and it is kind of weird <br />for him to make a motion to ask that this bill be introduced. He said the rules are <br />clear that this bill can be introduced tonight and if you have a question about it at the <br />next meeting you can have someone come up and give their opinion but you cannot <br />delay it being introduced but he would also say he would be more than glad to make <br /> <br /> 9 <br /> <br />
