City Clerk Schmidt confirmed that every vote is recorded within the minutes, showing those that <br />voted in favor and against <br />Chairperson Field asked the purpose of a roll call vote. <br />City Attorney Knaak commented that some of this is legacy process, such as a provision in the <br />Charter to waive the requirement to read something aloud, that no longer serves its original <br />function. He explained that the necessity that used to exist no longer exists, although a member <br />of the Council could request a roll call vote at any time even if this provision is removed. <br />Chairperson Field commented that his main concern was that the votes were known and that <br />appears to be so. <br />Motion by Commissioner Fuhreck, seconded by Commissioner Moore, to recommend approval of <br />the proposed changes to Section 3.4.2 as proposed. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Field, Commissioners Fuhreck, Moore, Jumah, <br />Leistico, May, and Rusert. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Bendtsen and Deemer. <br />Chairperson Field moved to the next proposed amendment for 3.5. <br />City Administrator Hagen also noted the proposed changes to 3.7 and provided a summary. <br />Chairperson Field asked where the notice requirement would be found. <br />City Administrator Hagen provided additional details on the state statute requirement as well as <br />the City process. He stated that the City must meet state statute, and it would not make sense to <br />include every state statute within the Charter. <br />Motion by Commissioner Moore, seconded by Commissioner Leistico, to recommend approval of <br />the suggested changes to Sections 3.5 and 3.7 as presented. <br />Motion Carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Field, Commissioners Moore, Leistico, Fuhreck, <br />Jumah, May, and Rusert. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioner Bendtsen and Deemer. <br />Chairperson Field continued with the review of the proposed changes to 3.9. <br />Commissioner Fuhreck commented that it is a notice period to a change in the law and there is <br />virtue in that. <br />City Administrator Hagen reviewed the publication that occurs after the adoption of an ordinance. <br />Chairperson Field stated that the ordinance also goes on two Council meetings before adoption, <br />which provides notice as well. <br />Commissioner Jumah asked how this would apply to the publication of the newsletter. <br />Charter Commission/ December 18, 2024 <br />Page 6 of 8 <br />
