Thomas suggest a process that would <br />divide the work being proposed into two or more segments: an ordinance for those pieces that <br />can be worked to general agreement and remaining pieces assembled into a ballot issue in the <br />same fashion as Chapter 7 amendments. The language proposed for ordinance could be limited <br />to city-wide assessment-based language. <br /> <br />Chair will pull together other charters for the Commission to examine. He also recommends <br />using Chapter 202 of city code as a resource for definitions and terminology. B. Thomas will <br />attempt to assemble some language that breaks amendment proposals into segments and reminds <br />the Commission that there will also have to be some attention to the calendar/timeline similar to <br />Chapter 5 as there is no such language currently in Chapter 8. <br /> <br />8.
