CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of September 10, 2012 — Regular Meeting Page 7 of 14 PROVISIONS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION, AND EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Mr. Newlon reminded the Commission that in the August election the citizens of Casselberry had approved a referendum that modified the Charter requirement for the City Manager to live in the City. He added that earlier in the year the Commission had met and considered what requirements were seen as desirable in recruiting a city manager. He further added that since that time it had been observed that requirements relating to the City Manager existed in both the City Charter and the City Code. He stated that the Charter needed to be modified to incorporate the referendum results and to correct duplications in the City Code which mirrored what was already contained in the Charter. As a result of these observations, Human Resources Manager Andy Brooks and City Clerk Donna Gardner worked together to craft an ordinance to remedy those issues. Mr. Brooks gave an overview of the changes proposed in the ordinance, including corrections to references; deletions of duplicative language; incorporation of the suspension of the residency requirement for the City Manager approved by the referendum; updates to outdated language; and various other references to the powers and duties of the City Manager.
