The question arises on the adoption of

2

Amendment No. 10.

3

I am sorry, Delegate Hardwicke.

4

DELEGATE HARDWICKE: Mr. Chairman, in support

5

of this amendment, let me point out that this procedure

6

is only our suggestion as to a legislative procedure. If

7

it turned out to be unpractical or unworkable, the

8

legislature can add additional procedures or can amend this

9

one.

10

With regard to those who are worried about

11

time, these are maximum time schedules and we don't believe

12

that the county commissioners will drag their feet and

13

use those maximum time schedules unless they are

14

interested in having the so-called model charters adopted

15

for their counties. This is probably a very well thought

16

out suggestion, and it might very well be that the

17

legislature would not attempt to change it.

18

THE CHAIRMAN: The question arises on the

19

adoption of Amendment 10. A vote Ave is a vote in

20

favor a vote No is a vote against.

21

Cast vour votes.
