He asked the members for ideas as to why they <br /> want to clarify the intent of Section 48. <br /> It was determined that the following areas need clarification: <br /> 1. Use of General Fund <br /> 2. Section 208.04 <br /> 3. Cost of City Services <br /> 4. Subdivision 3, page 22 <br /> Vice-Chair Sullivan stated that the next step is to draft a letter from the Charter Commission to <br /> Mr. Sulem at the League of Minnesota Cities. He indicated he hopes to have this completed by <br /> the October, 1998, meeting. He stated that his goal will be to have the re-write/clarification of <br /> Section#8 included on the November, 1999, ballot. Vice-Chair Sullivan noted that a vote is not <br /> required for typographical errors. <br /> Commissioner Kenfield asked if punctuation and formatting is considered a typographical error. <br /> She stated she would like to see the Charter written in a more professional print. <br /> Vice-Chair Sullivan asked if a new format for Section#8 only will be adequate. <br /> Commissioner Kenfield indicated a new print and format for the entire Charter is desired. She <br /> stated that members were to bring in any corrections noted on the Charter. She submitted her <br /> corrections to Vice-Chair Sullivan to submit to Mr. Sulem for review. <br /> 4 <br />
