Charter Commission <br />April 28, 2016 <br />Page 5 <br />80 Chair Dahl asked if additional language could be added that would be more restrictive in regard <br />181 to the City Council drawing the boundaries. <br />182 <br />183 Mr. Kaardal stated that restrictive language could be included that specify that the wards be <br />184 contiguous, similar in population or follow natural neighborhoods. He noted that a super <br />185 majority requirement could be required as well to ensure that three members of the Council do <br />186 not gang up on the other two. <br />187 <br />188 Commissioner Lyden stated that in his opinion the best practice would be for an independent <br />189 body to set the boundaries but stated that he does agree that if this item is going to be able to <br />190 move forward to the ballot the Commission will need to allow the Council to draft the ward <br />191 amendments. <br />192 <br />193 Motion passed 13-1 (Turcotte opposed). <br />194 <br />195 MOTION by Commissioner Bretoi, seconded by Commissioner Damiani, to accept the offer of <br />196 Attorney Erick Kaardal to represent the Charter Commission in amending the ward amendment <br />197 language with the target to have the item on the 2016 ballot. <br />198 <br />199 Further discussion: Chair Dahl stated that she spoke with Mr. Kaardal a few days prior to the <br />200 meeting and he preferred to have the Commission submit a resolution hiring him but noted that <br />" 01 action would follow this action. <br />202 <br />203 Motion passed unanimously. <br />204 <br />205 Mr. Kaardal stated that he would like to have a regular attorney/client relationship and that is <br />206 why he attended pro bono tonight. He stated that his recommendation would be to have a <br />207 retainer of $500, noting that he would have a billing rate of $300 per hour. <br />208 <br />209 Chair Dahl read aloud the potential resolution to hire Attorney Erick Kaardal as the Attorney for <br />210 the Commission. <br />211 <br />212 MOTION by Commissioner Bretoi, seconded by Commissioner Lyden, to adopt Resolution <br />213 #2016- <br />214 <br />215 Further discussion: Commissioner Johnson asked if language should be included that mentions <br />216 $500 for this item specifically. <br />217 <br />218 Vice Chair Devaney stated that he knows the professionalism of Mr. Kaardal but agreed that <br />219 perhaps the estimate of $500 should be included, noting that if that limit is exceeded the <br />220 Commission would then review. <br />221 <br />�222 Mr. Kaardal stated that his estimate is $500 but noted that if that limit is exceeded, his concern <br />223 would be that the Commission does not meet frequently. <br />224 <br />5 <br />
