was a conflict of interest for two councilmen, as they were running un-
opposed in the Nov. election. Therefore they were ineligible to vote.

and Mr. Kiesz stated in his opinion the two in question were eligible to
vote in accordance with the R.C.W.

brought it up in July.

until budget time. He said the fact two councilmen were running unopposed
was not their fault.

be "a motion to over ride the Mayors veto on Ord. 428." Les Young then made
