ORDINANCE NO. 1401, SERIES 2002 - AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AS REQUIRED BY THE HOME RULE CHARTER, TO SERVE AS AN ADVISORY COMMISSION TO THE CITY COUNCIL - 2aa reading - public hearing (advertised Daily Camera 10/5/02) Davidson called for City Attorney introduction. City Attorney Sam Light read Ordinance No. 1401, Series 2002. Davidson called for Staff presentation. Deputy City Manager Julie Boyd explained that the Home Rule Charter requires that a Historic Preservation Commission be established by the City Council, which shall not be abolished. Ordinance No. 1401, Series 2002 establishes the Commission. Resolution No. 34, Series 2002 sets forth the details of the Commission's purpose, membership, responsibilities and powers. If at a later date, Council wishes to expand or amend those specific responsibilities, those changes can be made with a new resolution rather than repealing and re-enacting the ordinance, thereby assuring compliance with the Charter. Davidson opened the public hearing and asked if anyone in the audience wished to speak for or against Ordinance No. 1401, Series 2002. Hearing none, Davidson closed the public hearing. 4
