    . Council has had multiple conflicts with Chairs/Charter Commission over last 3-5 years
    . July 2012 Council, including Pownell, voted to approve sect.2.3
    .Mayor calls Charter "constitution", "founding document"; but now also refers to it as "flexible"
    .Mayor and Administrator have no direct role in Charter except to follow
    .Mayor intervenes in process telling Chair 1 applicant is not qualified to serve
    .Martig repeatedly inserts himself into process w/legal opinions, threats of "potential action" (legal?) in 5.25 letter to Commission;
    "potential action" (legal?) on whose behalf, for what purpose?
    .2 applicants apply directly to judge, in violation of 2.3.
    Have these applicants not read charter?
    If seated, will they pick and choose what sections to honor?
    . Council and Charter Comm. have been in conflict too many times.
    Issue of who/what prevails, conflicts, and enforcement of Charter must be resolved; in court if necessary
