Legislation Title:

A RESOLUTION submitting a proposition to the qualified electors of the City, at an election to be held on November 7, 2006, to amend Section 2 of Article XIV and Section 4 of Article XIX of the Charter of the City of Seattle to delete obsolete references to Section 10 of Article XIX; calling on the City Clerk to certify the proposed amendment to the Director of the Department of Records and Elections of King County and requesting and directing such Director to call a special election and submit the proposition to City voters; and providing for the publication of such proposed amendment.

· Summary of the Legislation:

This resolution would submit a proposition to Seattle voters to amend the City Charter to delete obsolete references to Section 10 of Article XIX.

· Background: (Include brief description of the purpose and context of legislation and include record of previous legislation and funding history, if applicable):

Section 2 of Article XIV and Section 4 of Article XIX of the City Charter each make reference to “Section 10” of Article XIX.  However, Section 10 of Article XIX was repealed in 1973.  Removal of references to a section of the Charter that no longer exists can eliminate confusion on the part of readers of the Charter.  Therefore, the City Council proposes that the Charter be amended to delete these obsolete references.
