The Berkeley City Council has postponed a vote on a staff proposal to appropriate $20,000 a year to pay for sex-change operations for city employees.

City Manager Phil Kamlarz took the item off the agenda of the council's meeting Tuesday night because some questions had arisen about the proposed policy and he wanted more time to provide answers, according to city spokeswoman Mary Kay Clunies-Ross.

      Well,

       Again, I am very encouraged to see another city support our community, this is our government after all.  If we are to do it, lets make sure we get it right.  Thank you for the update Zythyra.
 
        Respectfully,
