He stated that in order to change the order of the meeting, 25 the By-Laws would have to be changed. The Charter Commission also follows Roberts Rules of 26 Order as defined in the Charter. 27 28 Chair Warren explained that the officers had discussed that in the last year or so,the meetings 29 have tended to go a bit long. The New Business items,which are the most important, are not 30 discussed until the end and if the meeting is running late,there is no time to complete them. 31 Because of that,the Old Business and New Business items were switched in order on this 32 agenda. However, Commissioner Carlson is correct that the reversed order is in the By-Laws. 33 Chair Warren encouraged Commissioners to keep their discussion tonight on topic so the agenda 34 can be completed in an orderly fashion. 35 36 MOTION by Commissioner Carlson, seconded by Commissioner Storberg,to continue with the 37 agenda as typed. Motion carried unanimously. 38 39 Agenda approved as revised to remove New Business Item 5C, Discussion of Term Limits of 40 Commissioners in By-Laws, add New Business Item 5F, Quality of Life Survey. 41 42 OPEN MIKE 43 44 No one was present for open mike. 45
