Council Member Stigney said he thinks the City should follow state statute and that is $5.00. He then said that he does not want to limit the people that can run. Mayor Linke commented that the $20.00 was a misunderstanding by the former Clerk Administrator in talking to someone at the County that has nothing to do with the filing fee. Council Member Quick indicated that the reason the fee was increased was to keep frivolous people from running and he does not feel that $25.00 is out of line.

MOTION/SECOND: Linke/Quick. To Suggest that the Charter Commission Review the Section on Filing Fees.
