POLICY QUESTION:
Does city council support amending the charter regarding the sale of water services?
BACKGROUND:
Council passed Resolution 28-2013 creating the 2013 Littleton Charter Review Committee (LCRC) and directed the committee to review the charter and to make recommendations to the council for potential amendments to address the current and future needs of the city. The LCRC met between 9/9/13 and 5/28/14 to review and discuss the charter, and on 8/5/14 made amendment recommendations to council. On 5/26/2015, council requested staff to bring forward the ordinances for the proposed charter amendment ballot questions.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Currently, section 109 of the charter provides that the city council has the authority to enter into contacts concerning the sale of water or water services. Denver Water currently manages all water and water services in the City of Littleton, so section 109 is no longer relevant to the city.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
PROPOSED MOTION:
Proposed Motion
I move to approve on second reading the ordinance submitting a ballot question to the registered electors of the city at the November 3, 2015 regular election, to delete section 109 of the city charter concerning the sale of water or water services.
