Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Dismissed as moot.

LETTS and WALDEN, JJ., concur. ANSTEAD, C.J., specially concurs with opinion.

Concurrence

ANSTEAD, C.J.,

specially concurring.

I would decide the case on the merits and affirm the decision of the trial court based upon the unambiguous language contained in the city charter providing for the may-or’s authority to. veto “any ordinance or resolution.” Since the charter specifically provides for the selection of an attorney and determination of his compensation only by “ordinance or resolution,” I presume the drafters of the charter intended that the mayor’s veto authority would apply to the hiring of counsel. Cf. Bierhorst v. Prieto, 131 So. 2d 308 (La.App.1961).
