In regard to commissiorisy he realized that the Vva`ter 'Commission could 'not be
-given :any more power than the Recretiori or Planning:Corrinisszon
e.re was considerable disc' U.9 a.on reld fiVe .to the wording. in
(1) and (3) under se'(' '2 6.' . Members of,;the Council felt than the V Ater
Commission should have more than merely: ri advisory authority .in the opera -
, tion of the VVaer D t
The City'Attorney explained .that under - the terms of the present
City. Charter the responsi i. It of operating the =Water Dept rests , with the;
City. Counc�le He pirated that 'he would: `advise against the use of the phrasing,,
operate the facilities of - the `water system'' ";anri "direct the operation :of the . .
t.
facilities of the water system" Jn regard to tiie dUtiE�s of the Water Cornrnissiono
This phrasing, he believed; - would be in conflict with'the City Charter°
Mr, . Robert went on to' explain that the Water Comxnissao a could recommend .
to the. Council, after its nt a char amendment before
the citizens in` order that the::`VVat_er Corzimisston could be gi�aen:auth'ority in
