Mr. Schnelle <br />stated that he felt there was no point in attending the meeting because <br />Mr. Burggraaf was unable to attend. Mr. Schnelle also stated that if the <br />Charter Commission has questions regarding the City budget routine, it would <br />be best for the members to come into City Hall and Staff could set aside some <br />time to review the budget process with them. Mr. Schnelle further explained <br />that if Staff attended a Charter meeting to provide budget input, it would <br />appear as Staff telling the Commission what to do and that would not be <br />proper procedure. <br /> <br />Chairman Heitman stated that the purpose in requesting Staff to attend <br />a Charter meeting was that the entire Commission could receive information <br />as a whole. Chairman Heitman also stated that there will be less than decorum <br />when discussing a problem and he will not run away from that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gamec inquired as to why Commissioner Bauerkemper did not make <br />Mr. Schnelle's reason for not attending the last meeting known; that a good <br />amount of time was spent discussing the fact that Staff was not present and <br />had the Commission known Staff's reasons, the discussion would have ended <br />right there. <br /> <br />CC/November 10, 1983 <br />Page 1 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
