The Committee suggested that "housekeeping" amendments <br />to the Eugene Charter of 1976 be placed on the ballot as a single measure and the other, more <br />substantial amendments be presented to the voters as separate questions. <br /> <br />C. On July 22, 2002, during a work session, the City Council approved the language <br />regarding the hiring and firing of City Department Directors to place before the voters.
