Councilmembers voted to kick the can down the road on changes to the city's charter and sent a proposed ban on horse-drawn carriages back to the committee.decided Wednesday to postpone taking action on changes to the city charter and instead teeing up an all-nighter just days before the deadline to put the amendments on the November ballot.
