Citizens Comments from the Floor None 5. Reports of the Chair Chair reported new Charter Commission member is James Battin, which leaves two open member positions. 6. Reports of Members B. Amundsen noted Tuesday, August 10, 2010, the primary election will be held and encourages citizens to vote and support their candidates. 7. Unfinished Business Chair opened discussion on amending Chapter 8 by soliciting group input and defining direction to proceed. Members discussed last month’s request by Chair for feedback relating group goals to amend Chapter 8. Chair reported feedback from S. Hutchins, who suggests Commission edit and review section by section, add and edit necessary verbiage, as needed, and not rewrite entire chapter. B. Amundsen and M. Haubrich agreed with this approach. Section 8.01 discussion focused on property benefits, as defined by statute, and is beyond Charter Commission scope. Section 8.03 needs definition of local improvements; project scope becomes the City Council’s responsibility. Council also needs to declare district definitions. Section 8.05 needs research done to further define what is considered special services (snow removal, sewer system maintenance, etc.). Chapter 7 may already cover this, making it necessary to remove from Chapter 8. This will be discussed further at the next Commission meeting. B. Doty shared relative comparative experience he had with the City’s storm sewer project years ago. B. Amundsen requests by next meeting, Chapter 8 is edited and formatted with bullets, etc., for easy reading and discussion purposes. 8. New Business Motion by Chair, second by B. Amundsen for the next Charter Commission meeting to be scheduled for Wednesday, August 11, 2010, at 7:00 p.m. MOTION APPROVED Adjournment Meeting adjourned at 8:16 p.m.
