Editors Note: Section 4.1 above is derived from Ord. No. 2080, § 1(B)(3). Section (1)(B)(2) of said ordinance amended ch. V, § 2 to add the position of city post auditor. The provisions codified as § 4.1 above were not expressly amendatory to any given section of this Charter but have been codified in this manner by the editor despite the fact that they are partly repetitious of § 4 above.
Apparently § 4.1 was intended to supersede § 4. This would have added to § 4[post auditor] and ["post auditor"] and deleted from § 4 [city treasurer] ["auditor"] ["treasurer"] and ["the treasurer shall not hold office more than two (2) consecutive terms."] However, since § 4 was not amended or repealed when § 4.1 was added, both sections remain in the Charter.
