[Added 9-12-1994]
So long as the Town of Stratford remains a signatory
to the Memorandum of Understanding for Economic Planning and Development
in the Greater Bridgeport Economic Development Region, neither the
Chairman of the Council, nor his designee, shall be empowered to take
any action as a representative to the Metropolitan Planning Organization
which has the effect of either committing the Town financially to
any project under consideration by the Metropolitan Planning Organization
or of approving the location within the Town of Stratford of any project
under consideration by the Metropolitan Planning Organization, without
the express authorization of a 2/3 majority of the whole of the Town
Council. In any case, the matter may, upon the affirmative vote of
a simple majority of the whole of the Council, be submitted to the
electors of the Town as a referendum.
