Chair Field stated that with regard to Commissioner Zaetsch and his concerns about the EDA, he <br />suggested Mr. Zaetsch put something together and have some discussion regarding background. <br />He added, however, if we solicit background historical from staff and the City Attorney, we have <br />that same staff guiding the City Council. Would we be confident that we would get a balanced <br />report? He questioned if the Commission should seek out a private opinion, and wondered what <br />funds would be available for that. <br />Commissioner Zaetsch stated that in determining future topics for the agenda, if we want an <br />outside opinion, we do not have a budget. <br />Commissioner Deemer stated that the Commission does not have any funding / budget per se, <br />however, it is in the State Statutes that the City Council has to pay the Charter Commission's <br />expenses. If we decide to spend money, the City has to pay the bill. <br />Mr. Zaetsch will bring his issues forward. <br />The question was raised whether or not there was any interest in bringing the Consent Agenda <br />issue forward. Reponses was that maybe the Chair should request a legal opinion of the City <br />Attorney and place that as an informational item on a subsequent agenda. <br />7.
