<br />Commissioner Frederick stated if we are not in favor of changing this - it's been pushed <br />out by the City Council - they feel it's not necessary. We are talking about this in the <br />remote chance it happens. He wasn't sure further discussion was necessary either. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that one of the Charter Commissioners could move to table any <br />future amendments to Section 2.5 indefinitely. <br /> <br />Commissioner Erickson stated that 4.5 needs to change because the wording does not <br />apply to the current Council; however, he agreed that 2.5 does not have to change. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated that she thinks what's important is the declaration of <br />vacancies. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Sherman and seconded by Commissioner Cleveland to <br />consider 2.5 with only the first paragraph as written and delete liaison language and bring <br />to the City Council along with amendments to 4.5. <br /> <br />Motion carried. All present voted in favor. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stated that if the Commission desires to make changes to the language, that <br />can be presented to the Council. <br /> <br />Commissioner Deemer stated he would like to have the Charter Commission cablecast. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued relating to cable casting and what is truly the record of the meeting - <br />that being minutes. It was felt that sometimes being on camera stifled true discussion. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Sherman to have the Charter Commission meeting audio <br />recorded. <br /> <br />Motion died for lack of a second. <br /> <br />Commissioner Field stated that he thought the Council specifically had issues with the <br />liaison language and they really have an issue with the 15 days. Do we get feedback <br />from the City Council saying they did not like this? <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stated they did not get to that part. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cleveland stated this may be an opportunity to give them a little feedback <br />on how the Charter functions. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich stat~d we are scheduled to go to City Manager versus City Administrator <br />form of government and there is some movement from the Mayor that we not do that. He <br />(Mayor Ramsey) would like to leave it as is - City Administrator. He explained that the <br />pivotal provision of City Manager is that he hires and fires. <br /> <br />Charter Commission - May 19,2009 <br />Page 7 of8 <br />
