The City Council agreed that contracting with TimeSaver would expedite the posting <br />of Charter minutes on the website. Mayor Reinert proposed authorizing expenditures for the <br />secretarial service for two meetings, at an estimated cost of $500. <br />Expenses for the secretarial service will be coded to a separate budget line item in the Charter <br />Administration budget. Later in the year, Finance will prepare a budget amendment for <br />Council authorization to transfer funds from the contingency fund to the Charter <br />Administration budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve additional expenditures for the transcription of Charter Commission meeting minutes <br />for two meetings with the stipulation that draft minutes be posted on the Charter website within <br />30 days of the meeting. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />TimeSaver, Inc.
