I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />Commissioner Buchanan stated that the Charter meeting date and time are not <br />posted on the Community Sign. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gamec stated that he is opposed to advertising regularly <br />scheduled Council and commission meetings on the Community Sign; that there are <br />very important community events that should be advertised on the Community Sign <br />rather than established meeting dates and times. <br /> <br />Commissioner Data also noted that a more specific s~ary has been requested <br />by the public regarding the differences between a statutory form of government <br />and a charter form of government. <br /> <br />Commission consensus is that such a summary will be prepared and distributed <br />by way of a city wide mailing just prior to the charter election in order to <br />draw attention to the issue. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gamec brought up the subject of the city newsletter that the <br />charter will establish and stated that the publishing of a city newsletter <br />may be prohibited by the pending law suit. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding the lack of citizen interest in the preparation <br />and contents of the charter. <br /> <br />Chairman Heitman stated that the attitude 'you can't fight city hall', on a <br />local, State or Federal level, is a real conception. This charter is an <br />opportunity for the citizens to insert their will into government with <br />relative immediacy. If the citizens come to that realization, hopefully <br />we will see a change in citizen participation in their government. <br /> <br />Commission consensus is that posters will be placed at public locations in <br />Ramsey designating the next Charter information meeting as March 22, 1984 <br />at 7:30 p.m. at the Ramsey Municipal Center. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Bauerkemper and seconded by Commissioner Greenberg to <br />adjourn this regular meeting of the Ramsey Charter Conm%ission. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
