Chair opened discussion on the request from the city to change the newsletter distribution to
quarterly vs bi-monthly. Commission came to the consensus that quarterly is fine as long as
the delivery mode is through the postal system. Chair will draft language for the next meeting.
B. Thomas presented discussion of the request from the City regarding Administrative Offense
unpaid fines. Discussion centered on what questions exist regarding possible language:
• Where in the Charter would it go?
• What will the process be?
• What limitations do we need to include for application?
• What fees/fines will it include?
• How do you limit increased usage where enforcement is subjective?
• Does a change of this nature require a ballot measure?
• Is there language currently in code and where is it?
411
• Do we need a list of specific offenses or is there an existing category to reference?
• Do we want a separate appeal process or use the original fine process already in place?

• Meeting Date
Chair raised the question of changing our regular meeting night from Tuesday to Thursday.
Consensus of the group was that it would work for everyone. M. Haubrich moved to set
Charter Commission meetings to the second Thursday of each month for six months with a
second from J. Miller.
MOTION APPROVED
Chair opened discussion of future agenda items. First item of discussion is in regard to
Chapter 8 covering special assessments for street improvements. Do we add a requirement to
allow projects not being assessed to have a referendum? How would we limit that
applicability? Should we request a response from the Council regarding the letter the
Commission submitted to the Council? There was general support for a joint meeting with the
Council with that letter as a basis for the agenda.
Do we need to have a year end letter for the next meeting?
