Charter Commission October 10, 2013 Page 8 314 Further Discussion: Commissioner Gunderson explained that the draft July 25th minutes would 315 be approved through line 82. 316 317 Commissioner Trehus noted that the TimeSaver minutes could be amended to remove the text 318 and accept only the motions, which would not create additional work for Commissioner Penn. 319 320 FRIENDLY AMENDMENT by Commissioner Timm to include amendments to the TimeSaver 321 minutes to keep lines 1-88, lines 156-172, lines 314-316, lines 380-386, lines 403-410, lines 414- 322 415, lines 439-440, line 454, lines 464-467, lines 508-510, lines 530-532, line 543, line 550, line 323 552, line 554, and line 556 through the end of the minutes. All other text should be removed. 324 The friendly amendment to the motion was accepted. 325 326 Commissioner Bretoi arrived at 8:00 p.m. 327 328 Motion passed unanimously as amended by Commissioner Timm. 329 330 Chair Lyden stated that perhaps the entire Charter Commission could receive a copy of the 331 minutes upon distribution rather than simply Chair Lyden to ensure that no one could change the 332 minutes. He agreed that the draft minutes should not be posted. He stated that perhaps this 333 would alleviate the issue of transparency. 334 335 NEW BUSINESS 336 337 A. Commissioner Storberg's Concern over Number of Charter Meetings per Year 338 Commissioner Storberg stated that she did not believe there was a need to meet four times per 339 year noting that only two meetings per year should be scheduled. She stated that if something 340 arises, a special meeting could be called. 341 342 Commissioner Turcotte noted the meeting time lengths that would occur if the Commission only 343 met once or twice per year. He noted that not every member of the Commission would need to 344 attend. 345 346 Commissioner Aldentaler stated that the Commission cannot even accomplish what is needed 347 during four meetings and questioned why the group would meet less. 348 349 Commissioner Trehus noted that meeting on a quarterly basis would allow for consistency and 350 although related to the desire for fewer meetings he believed the current method is more 351 appropriate. 352 353 MOTION by Commissioner Storberg made a motion requesting that this item be added to the 354 January meeting as part of that agenda when the new Commissioners are appointed. 355 356 Motion failed for lack of a second. 357 358 B.
