Approval of Minutes Upon the motion of Laurie Schley, seconded by Jerry Linke, the Minutes of the February 22nd meeting were approved as submitted. Vote: Ayes-11,Nays-0, Abstentions-3. IV. Review of Charter Draft "94-1" The commission reviewed the entire document, page by page, to note discrepencies in typing, spelling, phrasing and other minor errors or problems. The noted changes will be incorporated into the next re-typed draft. The Chair offered to submit the document to an English teacher for review for grammar and phrasing suggestions. The offered changes will then be re-submitted to the entire commission. During the discussion of the "minor errors" several commissioners brought up other items that may require additional review. In Section 7.06 the commissioners discussed the addition of language which would clearly require all revenues from all sources be included in the budget resolution. Laurie Schley, as author of Chapter 7, offered to review Chapter 7 to make sure the commission's intentions are accurately represented in the proposed language changes. In Section 7.10, subd. 1, the commissioners want to have the League of Cities explain when an election is required before the city may issue obligations. The language is directly from the Model Charter and is not clear. • -1-
