CITY OC)UNCII. MINUTES - January 20, 1982 <br />C. SPECIAL REPORTS: 4. Presentations from the Floor (continued): <br />The City Attorney addressed several questions raised by residents during presan- <br />tations from the Floor. Regarding Measure A, the 'Town did have the right to estab- <br />lish police, fire, and/or emergency services by administrative action. Regarding <br />Measure B, if it passed the Town would have to contract with an outside public agency. <br />Proposition C required a two-thirds vote to pass and the amounts in the proposition <br />were maximum amounts. If more money were requested, it would have to go back to <br />the voters for approval. The City Attorney reiterated that the Council had acted <br />legally and within its authority in placing Proposition C on the ballot. He noted <br />that there seemed to be confusion between the technical rules and the merits and/or <br />demerits of the actions taken by Council. Regarding the Municipal Code, the City <br />Attorney stated that there was a procedural section in the Code regarding meetings. <br />Council had flexibility regarding this procedural section but other sections of the <br />code must be followed unless, of course, Council took steps to change the code. <br />� •�•�•a u•• •� ua• u i• «a is <br />1.
