DELEGATE MOSER: That I think is the intention
of the committee by this language. It is not an option,
it is a charter they have, because it is automatically
effective July I, 1972 for those counties which have not
adopted their own instrument of government. Therefore,
they only adopt one because the county theoretically has
gone through the process. You could not have several
automatically effective.
DELEGATE HANSON: Did your committee consider
the possibility of having the General Assembly rovide
optional forms that would be available for counties not
wishing to draw up their own charter but which would have
to be adopted by a dictate?
DELEGATE MOSER: I suppose that one of the
things -- let ne put it this way: We intend that the
legislature in essence do something like that, if they
want to.
In the second sentence where we speak in terms
of procedure, they could go as far as you suggest. This
is a possibility, <\e do not spell it out. We rely on
the legislature.
