Reports of the Chair <br /> Chair reported new Charter Commission member is James Battin, which leaves two open member positions. <br /> <br />6. Reports of Members <br /> B. Amundsen noted Tuesday, August 10, 2010, the primary election will be held and encourages citizens <br /> to vote and support their candidates. <br /> <br />7. Unfinished Business <br /> Chair opened discussion on amending Chapter 8 by soliciting group input and defining direction to proceed. <br /> <br /> Members discussed last month’s request by Chair for feedback relating group goals to amend Chapter 8. <br /> Chair reported feedback from S. Hutchins, who suggests Commission edit and review section by section, <br /> add and edit necessary verbiage, as needed, and not rewrite entire chapter. B. Amundsen and M. Haubrich <br /> agreed with this approach. <br /> <br /> Section 8.01 discussion focused on property benefits, as defined by statute, and is beyond Charter <br /> Commission scope. Section 8.03 needs definition of local improvements; project scope becomes the City <br /> Council’s responsibility. Council also needs to declare district definitions. <br /> <br /> Section 8.05 needs research done to further define what is considered special services (snow removal, sewer <br /> system maintenance, etc.). Chapter 7 may already cover this, making it necessary to remove from Chapter 8. <br /> This will be discussed further at the next Commission meeting. B. Doty shared relative comparative experience <br /> he had with the City’s storm sewer project years ago. <br /> <br /> B. Amundsen requests by next meeting, Chapter 8 is edited and formatted with bullets, etc., for easy reading <br /> and discussion purposes. <br /> <br />8. New Business <br /> Motion by Chair, second by B. Amundsen for the next Charter Commission meeting to be <br /> scheduled for Wednesday, August 11, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. <br />MOTION APPROVED <br /> <br />Adjournment <br />Meeting adjourned at 8:16 p.m.
