Denver Charter Changes for the November 2003 Ballot
It was smooth sailing for the Charter Amendment to remove the annual salary survey for City employees and place it in ordinance. City Council voted 13-0 to move it forward according to the Rocky Mountain News [August 19, 2003, "Council supports city pay proposal"]. From the article, "Mayor John Hickenlooper won a key battle Monday night in his bid to overhaul Denver's personnel system when a unanimous City Council moved his plan one step closer to the Nov. 4 ballot." Here's the coverage from the Denver Post [August 19, 2003, "Council gives initial OK to new city pay plan"].
I think the Rocky is being a bit dramatic calling it a battle. I went to most of the public hearings and they were civil for the most part. Council came into the picture prepared to pass an ordinance. The voters will overwhelmingly pass the amendment on November 4th.
