Charter Commission October 10, 2013 Page 8 315 Commissioner Trehus noted that the TimeSaver minutes could be amended to remove the text 316 and accept only the motions, which would not create additional work for Commissioner Penn. 317 318 FRIENDLY AMENDMENT by Commissioner Timm to include amendments to the TimeSaver 319 minutes to keep lines 1-88, lines 156-172, lines 314-316, lines 380-386, lines 403-410, lines 414- 320 415, lines 439-440, line 454, lines 464-467, lines 508-510, lines 530-532, line 543, line 550, line 321 552, line 554, and line 556 through the end of the minutes. All other text should be removed. 322 The friendly amendment to the motion was accepted. 323 324 Commissioner Bretoi arrived at 8:00 p.m. 325 326 Motion passed unanimously as amended by Commissioner Timm. 327 328 Chair Lyden stated that perhaps the entire Charter Commission could receive a copy of the 329 minutes upon distribution rather than simply Chair Lyden to ensure that no one could change the 330 minutes. He agreed that the draft minutes should not be posted. He stated that perhaps this 331 would alleviate the issue of transparency. 332 333 NEW BUSINESS 334 335 A. Commissioner Storberg's Concern over Number of Charter Meetings per Year 336 Commissioner Storberg stated that she did not believe there was a need to meet four times per 337 year noting that only two meetings per year should be scheduled. She stated that if something 338 arises, a special meeting could be called. 339 340 Commissioner Turcotte noted the meeting time lengths that would occur if the Commission only 341 met once or twice per year. He noted that not every member of the Commission would need to 342 attend. 343 344 Commissioner Aldentaler stated that the Commission cannot even accomplish what is needed 345 during four meetings and questioned why the group would meet less. 346 347 Commissioner Trehus noted that meeting on a quarterly basis would allow for consistency and 348 although related to the desire for fewer meetings he believed the current method is more 349 appropriate. 350 351 MOTION by Commissioner Storberg made a motion requesting that this item be added to the 352 January meeting as part of that agenda when the new Commissioners are appointed. 353 354 Motion failed for lack of a second. 355 356 B.
