This would be for a term to expire December 31, 2003. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commissioner Bertzyk to reappoint Timothy Vogt <br />to the position of Chair and Hannah LaMere to the position of Vice-Chair. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

She <br />believes that a lot of items received are put together by City staff or other people and she believes it is <br />up to the Commission to take care of their own things; we should not have interpretations done by other <br />people. <br /> <br />Chairperson Vogt responded that Jo Thieling records the minutes and she drafts this letter from those <br />minutes. He pointed out that this is his fifth letter that he has reviewed from Mrs. Thieling and the <br />summary has always been very accurate. <br /> <br />Commissioner Henke stated she is referring to other items too, such as ballot questions, etc. The <br />Commission is supposed to be a separate body from the City and yet we-are getting a lot of <br />guidelines/leadership from City staff and we should be more independent. She wanted the Commission <br />to do the work themselves so they could stay independent from the City. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Deemer and seconded by Commission Milless to approve the letter to Judge <br />Quinn with the change of adding that Steve Simenson was appointed to the Commission and the date <br />change in the fourth paragraph (July 18). <br /> <br />Motion carded. Voting Yes: Chairperson Vogt, Commissioners Deemer, Milless, Bertzyk, Henke, <br />LaMere and Simenson. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Ebel and Swanson. <br /> <br />Charter Commission - January 16, 2003 <br /> Page 2 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
