PART II. MUNICIPAL CODE <br />1 -2 (Rules of construction and definitions generally): In <br />addition to the current provisions of this section and any other <br />revisions suggested below, we would suggest adding to or <br />revising the following provisions of this section: <br />(1) Charter. We suggest adding a definition of "charter" <br />to read as follows. Do so? <br />"Charter, this charter. The terms "charter" or <br />"this charter," when used in this Code shall <br />mean and refer to the charter as adopted by <br />Chapter 9875 of the Laws of Florida of 1923, <br />as amended. <br />(2) Officers, etc: We would suggest deleting the <br />definitions in this section defining specific, individual <br />officers, (city attorney, city clerk, city manager, <br />finance director, mayor) and add a new generic <br />definition reading as follows. Do so? <br />"Officer, employee, department, board, <br />commission or agency. Whenever a reference <br />to an officer, employee, department, board, <br />commission or agency appears, it shall be <br />construed as if followed by the words "of the <br />City of Palatka, Florida." <br />(3) Shall. We suggest adding a coordinate definition of <br />"may" to read as follows: <br />"Shall; may. "Shall" is mandatory; "may" is <br />permissive." <br />(4) F.S. We suggest adding a definition for the <br />abbreviation of "F.S." reading as follows. Do so? <br />"F.S. The abbreviation "F.S." shall mean the <br />Florida Statutes, as amended. <br />rd <br />
