Commissioner Bauerkemper attended the Council meeting of July 26, 1983 <br />and 1983 Budget Amendments was on the agenda and those amendments included <br />the proposed Charter Commission budget that was prepared by Commissioner <br />Gamec. Commissioner Bauerkemper stated that she informed the Council that <br />the proposed Charter Commission budget had not been approved by the Charter <br />Commission, that the general feeling of the Charter Commission was that the <br />budget proposed was too high, and requested Council to either delete or <br />amend the proposed budget for Charter Commission. Commissioner Bauerkemper <br />further commented that the City is working on a tight budget schedule and <br />Council amended the Charter Commission budget to $5000 and approved the <br />1983 Budget Amendments. <br /> <br />~ommissioner Bauerkemper then noted that she had been informed by the City <br />Accountant that $300 in legal fees has been charged to the Charter Commission <br />by City Attorney Goodrich. Commissioner Bauerkemper stated that she discussed <br />the matter with Mr. Goodrich and he explained that the legal fees were <br />incurred during the forming of the Commission, that it should be a City cost <br />and not be charged to the Charter Commission and the error would be corrected. <br /> <br />Commissioner Bauerkemper stated that she has also met with Charter Commission <br />Attorney Bill Dorn and he stated that his legal fees should not amount to <br />more than $500. <br /> <br />Commission consensus is to request City Staff to provide the Charter Commission <br />with a copy of that section of the monthly budget statements that would show <br />costs incurred by the Charter Commission and further that that information <br />be deposited in the Charter Commission incoming basket at City Hall. <br /> <br />Commissioner Buchanan requested that the Charter Commission secretary to <br />maintain a log noting all amendments and/or corrections to the Charter <br />Commission budget. <br /> <br />It is the consensus of the Charter Commission that even though a budget of <br />$5000 has been approved by Council, they would still like to see a detailed <br />breakdown of the budget from Commissioner Gameco <br /> <br />B.
