Chairperson Steffen stated that the City of Coon Rapids just went through such a change <br />and he would speak to a member of their Charter Commission for more information. <br /> <br />Commission Nelson speculated if it would be beneficial to contact other Charter <br />CommissiOns from other cities. <br /> <br />Commissioner Donovan felt that it would be beneficial for the Charter Commission to have <br />as much Information as possible so if in the future it appears there is a call for a change, the <br />Charter Commission will be better informed to make a decision. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder and some members of the Charter Commission offered to contact different <br />sources to:receive more information on the ward system. This information will be brought <br />back to the next Charter meeting for further discussion. <br /> <br />COMMISSION INPUT <br /> <br />1) Year-end Activity Letter to Judge Gibbs <br /> <br />Chairperson Steffen read thc letter to Judge Gibbs reporting what the Commission had <br />accomplished for the year 1993. <br /> <br />2) Meeting Schedule for 1994 <br /> <br />Consensus of the Commission was to change the meeting schedule to January, April, July <br />and October. The day would still be the third Thursday and the time would be 7:30 p.m. <br />This would eliminate the meeting in December when schedules appear more busy but it <br />would allow for extra meetings at the end of the year should an issue arise that needs a <br />discussion/decision prior to the new year. The Charter Commission's request to change <br />the meeting schedule will be on Council's Consent Agenda on January 18, 1994. <br />Providing rCouncil approves this change, the next Charter Commission meeting will be held <br />on January 20, 1994. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Nelson and seconded by Commissioner Swokowski to adjourn <br />the meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carded.
