UPON A VOICE VOTE,ALL VOTING AYE,CHAIRPERSON GORDON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AS AMENDED. 1. ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS A. Time and Attendance Commissioner Alvite Warren said it appeared the members were always waiting for other members to create a quorum to begin the meeting. She felt others should be considerate of the people who are able to get to the meeting at or before 7:00 p.m. She said she understood if there is something that came up,but asked that members try to be a little more considerate by being on time in the future. Commissioner Monden wondered if there could be a time specific as to how long the Commission would wait before it could disband due to the lack of a quorum.. Commissioner Heck suggested people leave a message with Deb if they cannot attend or are going to be late to give a heads up so the Commission could set up a timeframe based on the message. CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 22,2002 PAGE 2 Commissioner Warren wondered if Deb was available and Deb said that she is always available by voice mail and picks those messages up before the meeting if calls are made no later than 6:30 p.m.on the day of the meeting. Commissioner Gerrety suggested setting a time specific of 7:05 p.m. She said members should have the meeting dates it on their calendars and know that the meeting starts at 7:00 p.m.. Commissioner Soule suggested leaving by 7:10 p.m.if you there was no quorum. Commissioner Heck suggested looking at previous meetings to see what the average starting time has been. After some review,the average time the Commission begins its meetings,is usually about 7:10 p.m. Chairperson Gordon wondered if they would like to add this item to the by-laws. He said people would know that if they weren't there by the time specific,they might know whether or not to come. He said a proposal or draft of an amendment would be needed to be mailed to members at least two weeks before the meeting and vote. Commissioner Findell wondered if there was something important that needed to be discussed if the Chair would have the option of holding the members a little bit longer past 7:10 p.m. Commissioner Heck wondered if a time could be determined and that the language could be fine tuned and mailed out before the next meeting. Chairperson Gordon suggested the following language,"If there is not a quorum by a set time,there will not be a meeting,but also the option that the Chair would have the discretion to hold the Commissioners until later than the time specified. The Commissioners felt that there should still be a time specified because the Chair could decide to keep the meeting longer. Commissioner Soule said that people could make a personal decision and walk out of the meeting causing lack of quorum and ending the meeting. It appeared 7:10 would be the time specified;allowing the chair to have the discretion to continue waiting,but the time would not to exceed an additional 10 minutes past the specified time. Chairperson Gordon wondered if there were any commissioners that were absent more than 3 meetings in a row. Skogen said she would fmd out. Commissioner Johnson wondered if a Commissioner could send their vote with someone if they were unable to attend. B. Vacancies Chairperson Gordon commented that there was a vacancy due to the resignation of Carter Hendricks. He asked staff to prepare a Certificate of Appreciation and a letter to send to Mr.Hendricks. Chairperson Gordon said former commissioner Char Fitzpatrick was interested in serving on the Commission and wondered if the Commissioners were interested. Commissioner Soule MOVED and D.Warren SECONDED a motion that upon confirmation that she was willing to serve,that her name be forwarded to the Chief Judge for appointment. UPON A VOICE VOTE,ALL VOTING AYE,CHAIRPERSON GORDON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 22,2002 PAGE 3 2. DISCUSSION OF CHAPTER 7—SINKING FUND Ms. Skogen searched the Charter for the term sinking fund and found it only in Section 7.15.2(1). She handed out a prepared ordinance changing the term sinking fund to reserve fund for debt service. Chairperson Gordon thought it looked fine. Chairperson Soule wondered how it was defined in the State Statutes wondered if debt service reserve fund might be better. Commissioner Heck wondered how Commissioner Van Dan's term of dedicated reserve funds might work. Ms. Skogen will review the State Statute and bring it to the next meeting. Commissioner Heck wondered what the terms"informality"and"suspense fund"in Section 7.09 meant. Staff will contact the Finance Director to define what informality means in this paragraph,as well as a definition of suspense fund. Commissioner Soule said a reserve account was specifically allocated for use. A suspense fund was a fund that money would go into temporarily until it was determined where it would be applied. 3. ITEMS FOR FUTURE AGENDAS Chairperson Gordon wondered if there were any other items they would like to discuss. Under Administrative Matters a change to the bylaws as proposed by changing the start time of a meeting due to lack of a quorum. Chapter 7 Discussion of changing the term"sinking fund"as an amendment to the Charter. Continued discussion of the Index/Gloss Discussion 4. DISCUSSION OF WORKING GLOSSARY Commissioner Monden made three corrections to the working glossary. Skogen noted the changes and will have them available at the next meeting. Chairperson Gordon wondered if the Commissioners wanted the term"eminent domain"added to the glossary. Commissioner Monden had a concern that proper notice be given to the property owner.
