Mayor Kyle informed Council the League of Oregon Cities pro- vides for classification,' revision, indexing and publication of City Ordinance and that:Council may avail 'itself of this service if they so desire. - This:matter was referred to Council- man Bergmann for further study. Mayor Kyle: I would like to propose to this Council t:. pro- pose to the voters of this City the chaster change, changing Page 3 - 3-22-65 our form of government from a Mayor-Council form to the Council- Manager form. I further propose,that should this Council see fit to take such action, and if approved,by_the voters, that consideration be given to hiring a City .Manager, effective July 1, 1965. I support this proposal,hased on all studies made available to me by research,,which includes studying city - governments of those under the Council-Manager form and those not and I'feel that the Council-Manager form results in a more efficient and economical government. I feel that a-full-time paid professional-man 'trained in municipal administration, is necessary for adequate planning for the future o' nur City. We'might ,ask the City,Attorney at this time, shv, . e wish to consider this proposal, the ramifications necessary to establish a,charter change. Attorney Anderson: We have provision in the general laws which take an amendment to the Charter where the City proposes an amendment to the people by the City Council with or without an initiative petition_. The same shall be filed with the City Clerk for submission not less than sixty days,before the election at which time they are to be voted upon. No amendment to the City Charter shall be effective unless it is approved by a majority of the people. Council passed in 1962, Ordinance 62-20 which provides for carrying into effect, in the City of Tigard, the `initiative and referendum powers. The resolution shall be filed with the City Clerk:for submission not later than 25 days before a general city election and not less than 15 days before any special city;election at which time it is to be voted upon. No such measure shall be effective -until ''-' is approved by a majority of the votes cast thereon by the legal voters of the ,City. (Thus, it would be possible to have a charter amend- ment submitted mend-ment[ submitted to the voters upon 15 days 'notice`prior to the City;Election. The resolution must provide for the date, time and place of voting and we have all the aspects of a referral` of this type of referendum covered by this ordinance. Councilman Shinn: I also feel we should allow every possible means of informing the .public of this possible change. Council-Manager form of government was discussed by all members of Council. Councilman Shinn: I move that we adopt the charter change, and instruct the City Attorney to 'follow the proper procedure,for' a charter change to establish a Council-Manager form of govern- ment. ,Motion seconded by CouncilmanBergmann. Roll call of votes resulted as follows: Councilman Woodard, i' Councilman Bergmann, AYE; Councilman Klock, AYE; Councilman '.t. nn,` AYE; Mayor Kyle, A•iE.
