He stated that the change order expands the scope of the Streetscape Project to include additional concrete work needed in the Town Square Project and will afford the City the opportunity to take advantage of such pricing.

In response to Council Member Capetillo's request, Dr. Murray stated that there's a state law that states that any changes to the city charter that's not directly related to another cannot be put in one proposition. Council Member Sain inquired as to what happens if the voters vote against the propositions. Dr. Murray stated that if the charter is inconsistent with state law, the state law will be followed.
