... Mr. Etter did not get the impression that Mrs. Beal's intent was to restore the language of a considerable number of bond issue authorizations. Mr. Williams understood her intent as operating before with no changes. Mr. Murray - regards Mrs. Beal's intent as "do nothingism", and Mr. Keller said that, if EWEB is to ,be left as it was originally, all factors assisting them in that function should be left in the charter as well. As Mr. Etter interpreted the conversation, he thought Mrs. Beal's intent was to retain the present wording of the section dealing with the mode of filling vacancies and that the revised charter retain also at least a part of old Section 112. He would be glad to suggest how those two sections would read. Mr. Tiffany said that EWEB and City staff had reached agreement. If a portion of that agreement is breached, all of it is. EWEB has looked at the powers of appointment and election as an important, unseverable practice. It has been their position that, when the Board was founded, a separation between Council and EWEB was intended. He feels this step (retaining language of the original charter) is the first toward political control and, speaking for EWEB, he opposes it. Mr. Murray moved second by Mr. Hamel to reconsider Item CC - Charter Revision with regard to EWEB amendment. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Murray. moved second by Mr. Hamel to accept the original staff recommenda- tion with regard to EWEB (clearly providing for election of Board members and filling of vacancies by the Board itself).
