Work Session <br /> February 4, 2008 <br /> 1. Charter Commission <br /> Clerk Administrator title-inconsistencies <br /> Fee's in Chapter 7.04? <br /> Section 8.04 (assessments) significant revisions? <br /> JT indicates they will need input from residents. <br /> Section 2.02 PCSC could be disbanded(or used as an advisory board) <br /> Does council support keeping/disbanding <br /> Roger thinks the PCSC is a good thing-eliminated the politics of the council <br /> appointing. <br /> LMC&K&G Memos <br /> *Prepare a report-work session-PCSC <br /> Politics still exist, except it's in the hands of 3 people rather than 5. Roger says <br /> everything is political <br /> EDA-outside requirements of the Charter outside of controls of Charter. <br /> Rob says leave the EDA alone-the districts will be expiring. Rob directed the Charter <br /> Commission to make the language correct. <br /> Section 3.02 Can we delete that as an option? There are other aspects aside from just <br /> deleting it. What was the original intent? Roger quoted Bill Doty's interpretation of the <br /> original intent? <br /> Was section 3.02 ever successful or necessary? Maybe council members should talk to <br /> senior employees. Look into the issue and re-address. Jonathon said intent is to improve <br /> communication (Res. 5555) <br /> *Working on Administrative Offenses-No further comment <br /> Section 8.04 Charter has confusing requirements has huge problems. The Charter is <br /> inconsistent with city's present assessment policy. Option are being taken away from <br /> Council and as well as a residents. Charter needs to be amended sooner rather than later. <br /> City need to move forward with projects, residents need to be involved. <br /> Roger agrees with some of the comments. What do special assessments apply to? <br /> Charter language needs to have safeguards. Wording is poor in Charter? Does Charter <br /> clearly define how a streets project move forward. Any assessment should be <br /> petitionable. <br /> Valerie Amundsen asked whether the people in affected could raise a petition. <br /> It was pointed out that unaffected residents could and can petition. <br /> Joe stated the language in a question is for assessments <br />
