<br />Commission Update #1 <br /> <br />Discussion for Future Meetings <br />By: Jo Thieling, City Clerk <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />1) Schedule the next meeting date and topic(s) for the agenda. <br /> <br />2) Possible agenda item: <br />a) Amend Charter Language re Ordinance Reading. The Charter currently states that <br />when Council adopts an ordinance it will be read in its entirety at the meeting or that <br />Council must vote to waive the reading of the ordinance prior to its adoption. It was <br />thought that this stipulation was written at a time when there weren't so many <br />avenues to make things public. The ordinance is written up for the agenda ~ which is <br />posted on the City's website as well as a paper copy placed in the reception area of <br />the Municipal Center. The information may be requested by residents and distributed <br />to residents via email as well. Long story short, the Commission may determine that <br />the reading of the ordinance or voting to waive the reading is no longer a necessary <br />step in this process. If the Charter Commission is interested in recommending this <br />amendment, a case could be placed on the next agenda for action. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Clerk <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />Charter: 04/23/09 <br /> <br />-44- <br />
