CHARTER CHANGE
Mayor Attebery mentioned that there had been some talk lately about a
possible Charter change. It seems that most of the talk, according to
the Mayor, has been to increase the number of Councilmen to seven and
stagger the terms. The Council agreed that the bond electian would be a
a good time to vote on any Charter changes.
