The LMC Charter shall become effective on the date that it is ratified by Council. Amendments to this Charter shall come into effect when approved by a unanimous vote of the LMC Committee at a regular or special meeting and ratified by Council. All proposed amendments must be presented in writing and shall lay over for thirty days before being considered. In the event the LMC Committee feels an emergency exists, the provisions of this section requiring the proposed amendment to lay over thirty days may, by unanimous vote of the LMC Committee at a regular or special meeting, be suspended and the matter taken up for immediate consideration.
