She pointed out that when the decision was made to amend the City Charter, there was to be a stipulation that the person reside in the District for a period of at least one year. In reading the Proclamation, that stipulation was not evident. Commissioner Aguila and Vice Mayor Harmening agreed. Attorney Cherof explained that the Ordinance language does cover the stipulation and read from the Ordinance as follows: "...so long as the individual selected to fill the vacancy has resided in the same District from which the original Commission member resided for a period of not less than one year" and "A can- didate must reside within the boundaries of said District for a period of not less than one year prior to filing for office." After hearing Mr. Cherof's clarification, it was agreed by the members of the Commission that this language covers either filling a vacancy or running for the first time. Vice Mayor Harmening also stated his objection to the candidates having to pay $130.50 to the State of Florida.
