other suggestions that are made by councilmen and others.
Whatever the suggestions are, if they have adaptability
and merit, we believe that they should be placed on the
ballot this year so that the people can judge how they
want the city to be run in the future. Los Angeles Forward
was organized in order to attempt to find a consensus of
opinion as to what should go on the ballot. I offer the
services of Los Angeles Forward in bringing this consensus
about and to support the consensus measures placed on the
ballot.
Comment The League of Women Voters of Los Angeles reported
k9
on the total charter proposal. The League stated it supported
the new charter because it encompasses so many League positions.
Comment On the general subject of charter revision the Los
Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce made the following recommend-
5k
ations.
1. That the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce support
the effort to revise the Los Angeles City Charter, but
disagree in part with the draft contained in the report
of the Los Angeles City Charter Commission, dated July,
1969, and entitled M The City Government for the Future."
2. That appropriate representatives of the Los Angeles
Area Chamber of Commerce be authorized and directed to
work with city officials and other interested parties
toward the end of achieving meaningful amendments to the
Los Angeles City Charter which can be placed on the ballot
in 1970. In this effort, attempts would be made to work
out various details and problems set forth in the "Memorandum
on the Report of the City Charter Commission,11 the reports
of the CAO, City Attorney and others, and further recommendations would be made to this board as to any policy
questions involved.
3. That appropriate amendments to eliminate excess
verbiage, without substantive change, be placed on the
ballot in 1970. (Presently consumes approximately 30 pages
in the City Charter.)
6. That amendments for substantive changes be placed on
the ballot in 1970 so that citizens will be able to vote on
separate Issues rather than on an entire package - with the
amendments designed so that they are interrelated; so that,
if all are approved, they will represent a comprehensive
Charter revision, but if some are rejected the combination
of new and old will still be compatible.
