He requested an interpretation relating to Section 8 of the Charter concerning the proper time for election of a Mayor. See Page 306 Councilman Rohrs suggested that since Sher's reply would be de- layed pending the arrival of the City Attorney, the election ..might proceed and if necessary, could be questioned later.

Election of a Mayor Councilman Sher made his request to the City Attorney for an inter- pretation of Section $ of the Charter. He stated that he believed a easonable interpretation would be that the first regular meeting was intended as the proper time. for election of a mayor. Mr. Michalski replied that the Charter specified the "first meeting in July" in Section 8, and that Section 5 states that the Council is to fix time and place for regular meetings; that if the people wished the election to be at a regular meeting they could very easily have said so? that in the absence of such specific designation, the Coun- cil was bound by the language of the Charter. He further stated that sinc;p the July 11. 1966 meeting was the first meeting in July. it was the proper time for election of the mayor. 277 7/11/66 Mayor Arnold riled that there would be no further discussion and that Council was now ready to proceed '=pith the election of a mayor.
