Charter Commission <br /> July 9, 1998 <br /> Page 5 <br /> COMMUNICATION <br /> Commissioner Bening stated he was going to work with Commissioner Turner regarding this <br /> issue. He indicated that Commissioner Turner had not contacted him. <br /> Vice-Chair Sullivan pointed out the article that Commissioner Turner had published in the <br /> newsletter was inaccurate. The Capital Improvement Plan is only one part of the Five Year Plan. <br /> He stated that something that is this important should not try to be done overnight. Chair <br /> Montain stated that possibly editing was done to the article. Vice-Chair Sullivan noted the <br /> importance of being accurate. Commissioner Dunn stated that it is beneficial to have articles in <br /> the newsletter. It is difficult to accomplish under duress. He suggested some guidelines be set <br /> up regarding published articles. Chair Montain stated that article due dates are long before the <br /> article is actually printed. <br /> Commissioner Dunn stated that it was agreed to have a Communication Secretary. The <br /> Communication Secretary should give Charter Members time to respond to proposed published <br /> articles. He stressed the need for guidelines. <br /> Chair Montain stated it would be nice to have a copy of proposed article in the members packets <br /> so changes could be made before the due date of the publication. <br /> Commissioner Dunn suggested Commissioner Bening speak with Commissioner Turner to <br /> establish a working system for article publication. <br /> Commissioner Lane suggested a committee be formed for this issue. He stated that <br /> Commissioner Turner should not be completely responsible. He stated that he is willing to be on <br /> the committee. If the Charter Commission wants to educate the community it needs to be more <br /> proactive. <br /> MOTION by Commissioner Dunn, seconded by Commissioner DeMotts, to amend MOTION to <br /> form a subcommittee headed by Commissioner Turner and Commissioner Bening to assist, <br /> adding Commissioner Lane and Commissioner Dahl. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> MISSION STATEMENT <br /> Because of Commissioner Turner's absence, this item was tabled until the October 1998, Charter <br /> Commission meeting. <br /> 5 <br />
