Shadowing indicates added language, and overstriking <br /> indicates deleted language. Some of the provisions are completely rewritten. <br /> 1. Amend Section 3.02(a)(4) regarding qualifications for serving on the City Council as <br /> follows: <br /> (4) Shall not be an officer or director of any public utility service company within <br /> the city, or outside "Jithout the city but serving inhabitants of the city, nor be <br /> the owner or proprietor of any public utility service company in the city.
