CALL TO ORDER <br />Chairperson Field called the regular meeting of the Charter Commission to order at 6:00 p.m. <br />2. CITIZEN INPUT <br />Wayne Buchholz, 14621 Neon Street, stated he recently attended a City Council meeting to <br />request that an item be removed from the Consent Agenda. He added he was told that a Consent <br />Agenda item can only be removed by a City Councilmember. He expressed concern that a City <br />Councilmember can add or remove a Consent Agenda item without public input or objection. <br />Mr. Buchholz stated, under Robert's Rules, a change in the way City Council Meeting Agenda <br />items are regulated must be enacted by the Charter Commission. He requested that the Charter <br />Commission consider adding this as a discussion item at one of their upcoming meetings. <br />Chairperson Field requested that City staff add this item to an upcoming Charter Commission <br />meeting agenda for review and discussion. City Clerk Thieling agreed. <br />3. APPROVE AGENDA <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer seconded by Commissioner Bendtsen to approve the agenda <br />as presented. <br />Charter Commission/ June 25, 2014 <br />Page 1 of 9 <br />
