z. <br />1 <br />2 <br />3 <br />4 <br />5 <br />6 <br />7 <br />8 <br />9 <br />10 <br />11 <br />12 <br />13 <br />14 <br />15 <br />16 <br />17 <br />18 <br />19 <br />20 <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 <br />24 <br />25 <br />serve as a commission member. <br />The council, in viewing the video of the <br />meeting as well as the immediate resignation that <br />very evening of the charter commission chair, looked <br />at this, conducted meetings, and decided to take <br />what we've said is an unprecedented request to you <br />to dismiss Mr. Amundsen from the commission. It <br />came down to one consistent variable that was cited <br />by these individuals who say they are resigning from <br />the commission, and that was Mr. Amundsen's certain <br />activities. I don't discount that Mr. Amundsen has <br />a very vast knowledge, has been very proactive with <br />the charter commission. But as is pointed out in <br />the city's -- or in the mayor's letter, there have <br />been times when the discussions have taken so long, <br />and there's no product, no end result. Nothing <br />comes out that is either proposed for amendment or <br />concluding that no amendment is necessary. In fact, <br />we would cite one situation where one chapter has <br />been met on for 69 different meetings. And it's <br />taken eight plus years on a single chapter that has <br />not come to fruition or recommendation made for any <br />type of amendment to the city, whether through an <br />election or by ordinance or whatever other means is <br />available by statute. <br />
