Charter Commission Clerk Administrator title-inconsistencies Fee's in Chapter 7.04? Section 8.04 (assessments) significant revisions? JT indicates they will need input from residents. Section 2.02 PCSC could be disbanded(or used as an advisory board) Does council support keeping/disbanding Roger thinks the PCSC is a good thing-eliminated the politics of the council appointing. LMC&K&G Memos *Prepare a report-work session-PCSC Politics still exist, except it's in the hands of 3 people rather than 5. Roger says everything is political EDA-outside requirements of the Charter outside of controls of Charter. Rob says leave the EDA alone-the districts will be expiring. Rob directed the Charter Commission to make the language correct. Section 3.02 Can we delete that as an option? There are other aspects aside from just deleting it. What was the original intent? Roger quoted Bill Doty's interpretation of the original intent? Was section 3.02 ever successful or necessary? Maybe council members should talk to senior employees. Look into the issue and re-address. Jonathon said intent is to improve communication (Res. 5555) *Working on Administrative Offenses-No further comment Section 8.04 Charter has confusing requirements has huge problems. The Charter is inconsistent with city's present assessment policy. Option are being taken away from Council and as well as a residents. Charter needs to be amended sooner rather than later. City need to move forward with projects, residents need to be involved. Roger agrees with some of the comments. What do special assessments apply to? Charter language needs to have safeguards. Wording is poor in Charter? Does Charter clearly define how a streets project move forward. Any assessment should be petitionable. Valerie Amundsen asked whether the people in affected could raise a petition. It was pointed out that unaffected residents could and can petition. Joe stated the language in a question is for assessments J Clerk Administrator? Have Scott Riggs preview the statutes and provide an opinion. Fee structure? Charter commission to provide an update to Charter. Jonathon and Barb reminded public that there are a number of positions available on the Charter Commission.
