11.       REFERRAL TO COMMITTEE.  Mayor O’Brien stated he would like to refer this to Rules Committee for the appropriate legislation.  Mr. Wisniewski stated he thought this would require legislation to amend the Administrative Code and Mr. Hartmann stated that was correct and he could prepare the draft legislation.  Mr. Hartmann stated there will be other legislation coming forward that will amend the Code to comply with the Charter that was approved in the November election.
