charter has not been modified to show this additional language in the four affected charter
sections, which resulted in outdated text being used in R-18-073,

This proposed amendment adds in the additional charter language regarding the
possibility of filling a vacancy using the regular municipal election, and then proposes the
deletion of that language, as it would not be needed for the pending proposal to fill vacancies by
a majority vote.

We apologize for any confusion this may cause. Please let us know if you have any
