Charter Commission <br />April 17, 2008 <br />Page 4 <br />DRAFT <br />133 <br />134 Commissioner Lyden thought that the hard part is once a question is answered you sometimes <br />135 have two more questions and thought it would be better if the attorney was present at the <br />136 meetings. <br />137 <br />138 Commissioner Vacha advised that they are already walking the fence and thought it would be <br />139 better to not give the Council any more ammunition to get rid of the Charter Commission. <br />140 <br />141 Commissioner Carlson agreed with both points and thought that they should hold off on a motion <br />142 regarding having the attorney present at meetings until they discuss the issues further tonight. He <br />143 thought that they should know in which direction they are going to go before commiting to <br />144 having her present at all meetings. <br />145 <br />146 A. Election of Officers <br />147 <br />148 Chair Duffy advised that they had already held an election in which Commission Dahl was <br />149 elected as Vice -Chair, although she had been Secretary for a long time. She questioned which <br />150 position Commissioner Dahl would like to hold as they can only have one person for each <br />151 position. <br />152 <br />153 Commissioner Dahl responded that she would like to try the Vice -Chair position. <br />154 <br />155 Chair Duffy advised that they would then need a Secretary and called for nominations. <br />156 <br />157 Commissioner Vacha nominated Commisioner Gunderson for the position of Secretary. <br />158 <br />159 Commissioner Storberg seconded that nomination. <br />160 <br />161 Commissioner Gunderson questioned what the duties of the position would entale and was <br />162 directed to section four, article two. <br />163 <br />164 Commissioner Carlson felt that it was important to have three officers for the Charter <br />165 Commission. <br />166 <br />167 Commissioner Gunderson advised that she did have some reservations about taking the position <br />168 because of her committment to her children during the day. <br />169 <br />170 Commissioner Lyden thought that Commissioner Dahl could possibly help out to transition the <br />171 new Secretary into her position. He advised that she may need some help in the next month as <br />172 she had never held the position before. <br />173 <br />174 Commissioner Gunderson advised that she had been Secretary of other Boards that she had <br />175 presided on and thought that with the freindlyness of the Commissioners she would be able to get <br />176 assistance when needed. She accepted the position. <br />4 <br />
