11110 <br /> MOUNDS VIEW CHARTER COMMISSION <br /> MINUTES <br /> WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1979 <br /> I. Meeting called to order by Chairman, Bill Doty, at 7:35 P.M. <br /> II. ABSENT MEMBERS: Lowell D. Nygaard <br /> James H. Wills <br /> III. As Minutes of January 3, 1979, meeting were mailed to all Commission <br /> members, in order to save time, the minutes were not read by the <br /> secretary. <br /> Neil Loeding suggested that a modification be made of Point VI. 9 <br /> to more clearly explain the attendance of Mr. Wills at the Executive <br /> Committee meeting held on December 20, 1978. It was pointed out by <br /> Mr. Loeding that Mr. Wills was under the impression that December 20, <br /> 1978, was a regular meeting date of the Commission, such assumption <br /> being made from a copy of the December 4, 1978, Agenda, which he received <br /> in the mail. Further, Mr. Wills made an especial effort to attend by <br /> • foregoing a previously scheduled meeting out-of-town, and obtained a <br /> substitute to attend in his place. <br /> Thereupon, a motion was made by Dick Lykke and seconded by Neil Loeding <br /> that the Minutes of January 3, 1979, be approved, as amended. Carried <br /> unanimously. <br /> IV. Curt Schmidt suggested that a motion be entertained to formally excuse <br /> Jim Wills from attendance at regular meetings', until such a time as his <br /> business commitments will permit him to attend Charter meetings. <br /> Thereupon, a motion was made by Duane McCarty and seconded by Milan <br /> Illig that Jim,Wills be excused from attending meetings until further <br /> notice. Carried unanimously. <br /> V. Chairman Doty recessed (7:50 P.M.) the Commission meeting, temporarily, <br /> in favor of the General Plans & Purposes Committee. <br /> VI. At 10:45 P.M., ChairmamDoty reconvened the Commission meeting. <br /> VII. Report of the Rules Committee by Chairman, Duane McCarty. <br /> Mr. McCarty advised that it was the recommendation of the Rules Committee <br /> that the Rule, "a simple majority of the Commission would be considered <br /> a Quorum to do business" be amended to read, "a simple majority of the <br /> "active" members be considered a Quorum to do business,however, a smaller <br /> IIPnumber of members may adjourn from time to time". <br />
