Rama suggested that the heritage district council be led by the City Mayor or his authorized representative rather than the City Vice Mayor or City Mayor “in order to respect the prerogative of the Chief Executive.”The mayor, in his letter addressed to Vice Mayor Garcia, dated June 15, 2023, said the proposed composition of the heritage district council, based on the unsigned CO 2690, authored by Vice Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia, is “highly impractical and nonviable.
A copy of the letter was included in the city council’s regular session agenda on Wednesday, July 26, 2023. Meanwhile, Rama said that he was not apprised when the ceremonial signing of the City Ordinance 2690 last May 25, 2023 was held. He also said that the official copy of the ordinance was not served prior to the event nor was he informed that a ceremonial signing will take place, giving him no reasonable time to review the ordinance prior the signing.
