He noted that he would prefer that redline <br /> version for review. <br /> City Administrator Hagen noted that the difference between the two versions would be the last <br /> sentence. He confirmed that the City Council has already passed the ordinance for review by the <br /> Charter Commission. <br /> Chairperson Field stated that it seems that it would be a shorter process if the Charter Commission <br /> were to propose the amendment to the City Council. <br /> Commissioner Rusert referenced the language regarding future boards or commissions that may <br /> be added and asked if the Council could arbitrarily add a group. <br /> City Administrator Hagen commented that the City Charter allows the City Council to create <br /> advisory boards and commissions,noting that the Council also appoints members to those boards <br /> and commissions. He noted that this amendment would ensure that only Ramsey residents are <br /> allowed to serve on boards and commissions. <br /> Charter Commission/February 2,2023 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
