B.Amundsen mentioned discussions from the council work session regarding preliminary

7. Unfinished Business
Chair presented comparative spreadsheet describing the duties assigned to the position of Clerk
by statute and by Charter that had been assembled by B.Amundsen. He discussed the massive
amount of details being associated. B. Amundsen pointed out that some of the duties currently
assigned by Charter to the position of Clerk-Administrator are actually assigned to the Treasurer
by statute. B. Doty pointed out that it was originally set up by how it was being done at the time
but the duties required have increased since then. B.Amundsen stated that the charter has some
other complications in regard to administrative assignments. Chair suggested that due to the
attorney's comments that the title can be assigned regardless,the discussion of the title should be
dealt with separately from the issues of the duties.
Discussion continued on various title possibilities: e.g., Clerk,Administrator, Chief Executive
Officer, and others. Chair will discuss the matter with staff. Discussion continued regarding
splitting title and duty amendments or maintaining both changes as a single step. Consensus is to
continue with a single amendment.
Chair presented updated outlines for Chapter 8. Discussion regarding suggested financing
1111 boundaries as well as other details continued. Consensus to continue fleshing out the outline.
Chair will re-draft the outline the entirety of the items in Chapter 8 and submit to members for
their suggestions.
