Budget Committee - Commissioners Gamec and Bauerkemp~r <br /> <br />1. Presentation Of Detailed Breakdown Of Proposed Charter Commission Budget <br /> By Commissioner Gamec: <br /> <br />Commissioner Gamec stated that he is still researching reducing projected <br />election costs in the areas of paper ballots and number of judges <br />required. Commissioner Gamec then inquired if the Commission still plans <br />to mail a charter summary to all Ramsey residents and stated bulk mailing <br />of this summary could cost $400.00. The printing of that summary could <br />cost $200-$250. <br /> <br />Commissioner Data suggested that volunteers could distribute the charter <br />summary door-to-door. There was some discussion at this time, regarding <br />violations and fines for distributing such information by way of Federal <br />mailboxes and the Shopper boxes. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gamec noted that direct mailing is more effective in reaching <br />the citizens. <br /> <br />Co~nission consensus is that charter summary handout will be provided for <br />all Ramsey residents, but that it will not be delivered by direct mailing <br />because of the postage costs involved. <br /> <br />CC/August 11, 1983 <br /> Page 1 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
