That this Council should, and does hereby, refer to a vote of the qualified electors of the City of Englewood, Colorado, at that general municipal election to be held on Tuesday, November 4, 1969, a proposed amendment to the Charter of the City of Englewood, Colorado, which amendment shall read as follows, to wit: "Article X, Part III, Section 104, of the Charter of the City of Englewood, Colorado, is hereby amended by the deletion therefrom of the next to last sentence thereof which reads as follows: 'Maturity dates and terms of the bonds, other than water bonds, shall be as provided in the proposition submitted to the taxpaying electors.'" 2. That the question to be voted upon at such election shall read as follows, to wit: "Shall Article X, Part III, Section 104, of the Charter of the City of Englewood, Colorado, be amended so as to delete therefrom the require- ment that the maturity dates and terms of general obligation bonds must be set forth in the proposi- tion submitted to the voters?" 3. That this council does not consider the proposed Charter amendment herein contained to be in any wise inconsistent with the proposed Charter amendment set forth in Resolution No. 30, Series of 1969, heretofore adopted by this Council. This Council is of the view that both said proposed amendments are independent of the other and, should both proposed amendments be adopted by the voters at the forthcoming election, both said proposed amendments shall be, and become, effective. 4.
