<br />Case #2: <br /> <br />Review/Comment Model Charter Document <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer commented that the model charter document is a good guide to read if we <br />are looking for language, but he feels we have a pretty good Charter on the whole. He did not <br />think it would be a good idea to start over with the City's Charter. <br /> <br />Chair LaMere recollected that Commissioner Bertzyk had inquired about guidelines for <br />appointments with regard to Council vacancies. She referred to 2.04 of Anoka's Charter. <br /> <br />Chair LaMere asked if there is or should be a section in our Charter that talks about authority in <br />an emergency situation. <br /> <br />Attorney Goodrich responded yes, Chapter 3. It talks about the ability to hold an emergency <br />meeting. In that instance, you do not have to abide by the 24-hour posting notice. <br /> <br />Chair LaMere stated she was concerned and wanted to make sure the Charter does not restrict <br />emergency authority. <br /> <br />Case #3: <br /> <br />Accept Resignation of Lauri Ebel <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Simenson to accept, with <br />regret, the resignation of Lauri Ebel from the Charter Commission. <br /> <br />Motion carried - all present voted in favor. <br /> <br />It was suggested that the Council be informed there are vacancies on the Charter Commission in <br />case they want to make any recommendations. <br /> <br />Staff will wait a short time to hear if Council has any recommendations, and then will send the <br />recommendations and the current applications to the Chief Judge for appointment. <br /> <br />COMMISSION INPUT: <br /> <br />1) Set Charter Agenda and Schedule Date(s) for next Meeting(s) <br /> <br />Consensus of the Commission was to schedule the next Charter Commission meeting for 6:30 <br />p.m., Thursday, January 17,2008, in the Alexander Ramsey Room. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />The discussion ofthe Charter Commission adjourned at 7:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Charter CommissionlNovember 15, 2007 <br />Page 5 of6 <br />
