Box 1778 Sanford, FL 32771 Dear Pete: Enclosed herein is a copy of Resolution No. 1300 which, as you recall, is the Resolution creating the Advisory Committee. There seems to be some question of what the City Commissions course of action could be. I believe paragraph 4 of the Resolution speaks to this issue. Now that the Advisory Charter Committee has rendered its report to the City Commission, the City Commission, pur- suant to paragraph 4, shall review it and determine whether the existing Charter should be amended or re- vised. If the City Commission deems it advisable to amend or revise the'Charter, they should instruct the City Attorney to prepare an Ordinance incorporating any provisions the City Commission wishes to address. The Ordinance would be reviewed and adopted in the normal procedure with an additional provision that before any amendment could take effect it would have to be approved by the voters in a referendum as pro¥ided for in Chapter 166, Florida Statutes. If I may be of further assistance, please feel free to con- tact me. Sincerely, STENSTROM, McINTOSH, JULIAN, COLBERT & WHIGHAM, P.A. MINUTES City Commission, Sanford, Florida, April 12 at 7:00 P.
