The amendments include revising a section that allows council to vote for a new deputy mayor in the event the acting deputy mayor fills a vacancy of the mayor, to remove the 75-day expiration of emergency ordinances and to allow council the ability to make “non-substantive” changes to the charter in the future.

Law director Scott Liberman said the non-substantive changes would be for issues like grammatical errors in the charter.

The city has until Aug. 9 to make the changes to the ballot.
