The matter must go to the voters as required by the Charter. It should be noted that the matter is being hand-carried to the Council because it has just come to the Legal Department's attention that the Borough Clerk will be on vacation and the time which was originally intended to bring the matter before Council has now been changed and the matter needs to be acted upon immediately. The Legal Department was only informed on August 18, 1987 that it no longer had until September 1, 1987 to submit the attached resolution and that the matter had to appear before Council On August 19, 1987.
