<br />
<br />Mr. Brunton, Mr. Buck, Mr. Gatewood and Mrs. O'Brien. Noes:
<br />
<br />None.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Albro reminded the~Council that a proposal had been
<br />received from the NAACP suggesting a change in the method by
<br />which Councillors are elected. He stated that State statute
<br />says that an election by wards can not be put into effect until
<br />after the 1980 census. He stated that would not preclude
<br />consideration of a charter change at this time and suggested
<br />that if the Council were~favorably disposed toward a ward system
<br />it would take a charter change to implement it. He suggested
<br />that a work session be set to discuss this matter and invite
<br />
<br />the NAACP to attend.
