This information is taken from the City Attorney's office documents describing the implementation plan for the Charter Amendment. This is an abreviated version of the plan. The full text is found on their web site. The City Attorney s Charter Implementation Plan will include the drafting and presentation of ordinances required by the new City Charter and a comprehensive review and preparation of amendments necessitated by the new Charter to the Administrative Code, Elections Code, Municipal Code, and the uncodified rules and regulations of the various departments of the City.
Time is of the essence.
The Charter requires that all of its provisions be implemented within 12 months. In order to meet this deadline, the City Attorney s CIT has developed a nine-month timeline for drafting and presenting the ordinances. The City Council will then have an additional three months to complete the adoption process in order to fully implement the Charter. The City Attorney will produce the necessary ordinances and present them to the City Council and Mayor as they are available. The ordinances will be sent to affected departments and the City Council at the same time, with direction to the departments to make comments directly to the Council.
