incorporating all the ordinances that the Council passed in the last year, and would include the • Charter, but had the question as to which provision of the Charter they should include. He stated if the Charter Commission were to act within the next sixty days, and vote to remove the term limit provision, and any others deemed unconstitutional, they could have it back before the Council for action, and the new, "cleaned" up Charter could be printed with the Code to avoid the cost. He stated that from his perspective sixty days would be a reasonable amount of time. Council Member Quick inquired if Mayor Coughlin would accept the sixty day time frame as an amendment to his motion. Mayor Coughlin stated that the Council could not dictate the timing of the Charter Commission, however, they could state sixty days, and the Council could consider their options at that point. Council Member Thomason stated that she would agree to this. Council Stigney requested clarification of the language "publish the adjusted charter," to indicate "publish the Charter including the added provision of term limits:" He stated that he did not believe it was correct for the Council move upon this matter, as it was within the purview of the Charter Commission. Mayor Coughlin stated that to an extent, the Clerk Administrator does have the right to post the Charter or raise questions regarding it. He added that this was simply an attempt to resolve the matter at the Council level, and place it out of the Council domain. City Administrator Whiting stated that the last Council discussion of the matter had taken place almost three years prior, and at that time, it had been decided to remove the term limit provision from the Charter. He stated, in light of this, and for the benefit of the public who might think this was this had been done, he had placed the matter on the Council Agenda to provide public acknowledgment that it was a different version than what he understood it to be three years ago. Council Member Stigney stated that he would prefer the motion be broken down into three different issues. He stated, in regard to posting and publishing the existing Charter, it should have been done, and if not, the City has been remiss in not doing so. Mayor Coughlin reiterated that this was a means to declare this issue resolved in this regard. Council Member Stigney stated that he opposed it, as it was not Council business. Mayor Coughlin stated that unfortunately, previous Councils had made it their business, and that he felt it necessary to declare it otherwise. Council Member Quick stated that it is the Council's business as duly elected representatives of the people. He added that no Charter Commission Members are elected. Council Member Stigney stated that there are no added provisions to the Charter. Mayor Coughlin stated he was referring to items added to the Charter by the voters, however, he would amend the language again if necessary. Ms. Olson stated that it should be indicated as the current February 13, 1995 Charter. Mayor Coughlin stated that he would amend the motion pursuant to the recommendation of Ms. Olson, the current Chair of the Charter Commission. Council Member Thomason stated that she would agree to that amendment. Ms. Olson inquired if the Council would consider a separate stipulation to the motion to request that the Council will provide additional expenditure for attorney fees at the same time, in order to • facilitate the Council's request that the Charter Commission review the Charter for unconstitutional items. 21 N:\DATA\US ERSUOANB\SHARE\MINUTES\CC\ 1999\07-26-99.
