Commissioner Donovan feels that a procedural item anyway. He does not see making it a <br />permanent two-year position right now. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Vogt and seconded by Commissioner LaMere to send the following to <br />the City Council for language for the November 7, 2000 ballot: Shall the number of <br />Councilmembers be increased from four to six with the election year 2002. <br /> <br />Further discussion: It was discussed whether or not the verbiage relating to an interim, two-year <br />term would be included. Commissioner Donovan suggested that the interim two:year term <br />would be the Commission's recommendation, but that it is not necessary to put that language to a <br />vote. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Kiefer, Commissioners Vogt, LaMere, Childs, <br />Donovan, Henke, Netzloff and Rosenow. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Spain <br />Brist. <br /> <br />The second issue was the discussion of primaries and wards. <br /> <br />Chairperson Kiefer asked if anyone is interested in either of these items. A straw poll was taken. <br /> <br />Commissioner Vogt - wards <br />Commissioner Rosenow - no decision <br />Chairperson Kiefer - wards <br />Commissioner Netzloff- wards <br />Commissioner LaMere - Primaries <br />Commissioner Donovan - wards <br />Commissioner Henke - wards <br /> <br />Chairperson Kiefer asked if there was any interest in putting the ward question on the ballot. <br /> <br />Commissioner Vogt - no <br />Commissioner Rosenow - no <br />Commissioner Childs - no <br />Chairperson Kiefer- abstain <br />Commissioner Henke - no <br />Commissioner Donovan - yes <br />Commissioner LaMere - no <br />Commissioner Netzloff- no <br /> <br />Discussion ensued relating to drawing ward lines. Consensus of the Commission was to put an <br />item on the next agenda that would bring about the discussion of whether or not it is valuable to <br />draw wards without the intent of using them within the next couple of years. <br /> <br />Consensus was to table the discussion of wards and place it on the next agenda. <br /> <br />Charter Commission - September 6, 2000 <br /> Page 9 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
