Memorandum <br />Z27 <br />-5 <br />Special Worksrm-1oN, <br />To: City Council <br />From: Gordon Heitke <br />Date: February 22, 2008 <br />Re: Charter Amendment Comparison Information <br />Mayor Bergeson has called for a special council work session to be held on Wednesday, <br />February 27, 2008 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. The purpose of the work session is to continue <br />discussion of possible charter amendments to be placed on the November, 2008 ballot. <br />At the February 4 work session, Bond Counsel Stephen Bubul presented a detailed <br />review of the substitute amendment presented to the City Council by the Charter <br />Commission. After reviewing and discussing the document, the Council requested that a <br />simplified "grid" analysis be prepared to assist in further discussions of the alternative <br />amendments and that the amendments submitted by the Citizen Task Force and Mr. Bob <br />Bening and Chapter 429 be part of the analysis. <br />Mr. Bubul has prepared a grid which attempts to identify the major differences between <br />the alternatives as well as a more detailed narrative comparison that provides more <br />explanation of the information identified in the grid. <br />I have included previously distribute materials and a legal review of the Bening proposed <br />amendment. <br />Attachments: <br />Special Council Work Session Notice, February 27, 2008 <br />Citizen Task Force /Council Amendment <br />Charter Commission Substitute Amendment <br />Bubul review of Substitute Amendment, Jan. 28, 2008 (previously distributed) <br />Bubul narrative comparison of amendment alternatives, Feb. 18, 2008 <br />Bubul grid comparison of amendment alternatives, Feb. 19, 2008 <br />Charter Amendment Timeline Chart <br />Springsted letter, Jan. 29, 2008 (previously distributed) <br />Bening Proposed Amendment, Jan. 14, 2008 <br />Bubul review of Bening Proposed Amendment, Jan. 30, 2008 <br />of <br />
