[6:53] get a check in with you guys. I was from
[6:55] behind. Do you guys have anything for us
[6:56] this evening? I don't think so. Neither
[6:58] of us were here last week. Okay.
[7:02] Good. Just didn't want to blow by. So,
[7:05] um, thank you, by the way. and relay the
[7:08] message to the other two that for all
[7:10] you've done. It's been much
[7:12] [Music]
[7:14] appreciated.
[7:16] Um all right. So items for discussion
[7:18] this
[7:20] evening review final redline charter. Um
[7:25] did we want to do presentation? Is that
[7:28] how we I remembered you wanted to walk
[7:31] us through it or So that's what So we
[7:33] can go line by line looking at the
[7:36] changes and then after and then as long
[7:38] as there's no controversy about any of
[7:41] them. Um at the end we have a couple
[7:43] options. If there's any disagreement
[7:45] that you want to voice on the record, we
[7:47] can make an individual motion so that
[7:49] there's a roll call vote and you can
[7:50] show that. Or if everyone's in agreement
[7:53] on the changes, which it seems like it's
[7:54] been that way, we can go through all of
[7:56] them, confirm that, wait till the end,
[7:58] and just make one big motion to accept
[8:00] the red line changes. So, I like that.
[8:03] Yeah. Yeah. Okay, let's do that.
[8:13] Sorry, I got the
[8:15] uh got these pulled up on my phone.
[8:19] [Music]
[8:24] Joe, I gave you the clicker over there
[8:26] if you want to just press the arrow.
[8:31] Oh, that's cool. Okay, so starting in
[8:35] the table of contents, there were a
[8:37] couple changes, but that was just for um
[8:40] changing the names of some things. So
[8:43] adding the salary of the mayor category,
[8:46] amending it to salary of city council
[8:48] members in article three.
[8:51] Um and then renumbering a couple things
[8:53] whenever we got rid of the intentionally
[8:57] omitted sections.
[8:59] So assuming that's what that was. Yeah.
[9:03] So assuming there's no disagreement
[9:05] there, we can move on.
[9:14] Is this not happen? Sorry if this is jumping a little bit quicker
[9:18] than I had assumed. So,
[9:22] article 1.01, we changed the name and
[9:26] the boundary
[9:28] um which was just to update it to get
[9:31] rid of the village of Canal Mestrs that
[9:33] has just been there for a while. Do you
[9:36] Is there a way to get the red line? Hang
[9:38] on one second. I think it's just
[9:40] not showing the Thank you.
[9:45] Where we at? Is this
[9:48] because it should be under here?
[9:54] Matt, you just did that for me and I
[9:56] can't remember how to do it. Well, I
[9:58] think it I think it has to do with this
[10:01] computer. Let me see what I can do real
[10:03] fast.
[10:04] Um because you see how it doesn't give
[10:07] me and but do all of you have the red
[10:08] line in front of you too? Okay. So if
[10:11] you want follow I can just keep
[10:13] scrolling through and we'll follow that
[10:15] way.
[10:17] These are some of these ones are pretty.
[10:20] So hold on let's try this. Maybe. Yeah.
[10:25] There we go. All right. Great. So uh
[10:29] there were no go away then.
[10:33] I don't know what's happening on this
[10:34] computer today. I apologize for that's
[10:37] fine. I don't where to go.
[10:42] One
[10:43] more time.
[10:48] Okay, I'm not touching anything.
[10:51] Yeah. Okay. Word is on here. We are
[10:56] there. It's part of the problem. All
[10:58] right. So, we are now at article two.
[11:00] There were no changes. So that was
[11:02] great. Um, article three will start
[11:08] with getting rid of so we just basically
[11:12] changed to start getting rid of
[11:14] subsection A and then 1 2 3 because
[11:18] there is no subsection B. So it just
[11:21] didn't make a lot of sense to have it.
[11:22] So it'll just start with that text and
[11:23] then these subsections will be letters.
[11:27] Um, next in the in subsection what is
[11:31] now subsection D, it is just
[11:34] simplifying what this uh language is. I
[11:38] think it basically says the same thing.
[11:40] Um, we had agreed on. Um, so again just
[11:44] making it easier to read, less words
[11:48] involved. Um, article
[11:51] 3.02 just clarifying language by getting
[11:53] rid of the word next.
[11:57] Um, article
[11:58] 3.03 just changed the title to
[12:01] clarify certain
[12:04] things. Um, article
[12:07] 3.04. Again, this was just a change to
[12:10] clarify that for the clerk of council
[12:12] and the day-to-day duties here when
[12:14] there's not meetings or anything, um,
[12:15] that the officers of council can
[12:17] delegate supervision to the to the mayor
[12:20] or the designate. Um, again, nothing too
[12:23] controversial here.
[12:25] Um, article
[12:27] 3.05. This was a suggestion from y'all
[12:31] regarding modernizing the notice
[12:33] procedures, which again just makes sense
[12:36] given that we're in 2025
[12:38] now. Um, 3.07. So, this was the first
[12:43] big change that you guys have made um in
[12:46] terms of determining the salary of city
[12:47] council members. it's tying it to the
[12:49] Overs
[12:51] standard. Um, which again is an
[12:53] objective metric that is set by the
[12:56] state of Ohio. Um, and it's just
[13:00] clarifying for council instead of them
[13:02] having to vote on their salary every
[13:04] time, which again could be self-
[13:05] serving. And two is also uncomfortable.
[13:07] If they're a good politician, they
[13:09] probably won't vote to raise their
[13:10] salary. And two, it puts it in the hands
[13:12] of the voters if this were to make it to
[13:15] the
[13:16] ballot. Is there
[13:19] So nothing on the ballot will have a
[13:20] monetary number at all, right? No, this
[13:24] would not. So the only thing will be
[13:25] when we get to the mayor's salary, if
[13:27] council approves that, it would show the
[13:28] 60 to 85 range, but in terms of the oper
[13:32] minimum, it wouldn't show a monetary
[13:35] number, but that's available online if
[13:37] people wanted to look it up. I know.
[13:43] Okay. Um there's nothing further there.
[13:47] We'll move to council
[13:50] vacancies, which that was just changing
[13:52] it from 30 to 60 days to give council
[13:54] more time. Um, and clarifying the
[13:56] qualified under section 3.02b is just uh
[13:59] making it easier to read and refer back
[14:01] to qualifications for member of
[14:04] council. Um, moving on to article
[14:08] 4.04. This was just this was all one
[14:11] paragraph at first. The language isn't
[14:13] actually changed. It's just breaking up
[14:14] to make it easier to read.
[14:16] Um
[14:19] 4.05 we got rid of the journal because
[14:22] it was unclear what the journal was for
[14:24] anybody here or I think for employees.
[14:27] So again nothing too
[14:30] controversial. Uh 4.07 was there were a
[14:34] couple interesting changes. This was
[14:36] just adding categories for what can be
[14:39] um legislation that takes effect
[14:40] immediately. And the purpose for it was
[14:43] that some of these have to take effect
[14:45] immediately and under the current
[14:46] process it's labeled as emergency
[14:49] legislation. Um which it's just if
[14:51] everything looks like an emergency then
[14:53] it's just tougher to get through. So
[14:55] just clarifying that this is stuff that
[14:57] can get through right away. Makes more
[14:59] sense for go back when we we talked
[15:02] about in
[15:04] uh category to add to this is
[15:07] resolutions. Um resolutions are not law
[15:10] type of thing. So, um if that's
[15:12] something they they also they're just
[15:14] required one reading. Um for example,
[15:16] the other night at council we did a
[15:18] resolution to uh recognize police week
[15:21] next week and that type of thing. Um
[15:23] those are the ones that we were are kind
[15:25] of going through. Um and they have a one
[15:30] the previous charter had three readings.
[15:32] Is that correct, Amanda? And so we took
[15:34] it from three readings now to one
[15:36] reading required and but it still has a
[15:38] 30-day I think it's always been one.
[15:40] It's a long time here, but it still has
[15:42] the 30-day requirement. Yeah, but it
[15:44] still has a 30-day effected period and
[15:47] some of these things while you know the
[15:48] resolution for the police week, we're
[15:50] still going forward even though it
[15:52] officially doesn't take effect, but we
[15:55] could amend that on the fly too if
[15:57] that's of interest to you guys.
[16:00] Yeah. Okay. Subsection 11 resolutions
[16:05] number 11.
[16:10] Did Did we discuss these in our
[16:12] meetings? Yes. All of these. We can go
[16:15] back through them and discuss like No,
[16:17] that's all right. Because they broke
[16:19] down what was how many times an
[16:21] emergency was used and that the numbers
[16:24] on it. I remember that. I just
[16:30] That's a lot of Yeah.
[16:34] Don't necessarily remember a couple of
[16:36] those, but that's okay. You want to we
[16:38] can talk to him if you want. Yeah. Say
[16:39] which which ones do you not remember Mr.
[16:41] Carson?
[16:44] The grant or loan applications off from
[16:47] another government. So that is when we
[16:50] are putting um applications in for like
[16:53] Ohio public works commission funds, Ohio
[16:56] water development funds um you know a
[16:59] federal grant um application. This is
[17:02] not us going to a bank. This is us
[17:05] putting something in for from another
[17:07] government. So,
[17:09] a lot of times there's a short period of
[17:11] time to do that, right? Yeah.
[17:14] Application deadlines.
[17:20] Good to keep going. Yeah. Okay.
[17:24] Um, we will now move on all the way down
[17:27] to 4.13.
[17:32] So again, this is just a modernizing
[17:35] thing, posting things on the official
[17:36] website instead of having to put it in a
[17:39] newspaper. Um, particularly since I
[17:41] think the dispatch is the only one that
[17:43] might qualify for canal at this point.
[17:45] Okay, there might be a daily reporter,
[17:48] but yeah.
[17:52] Um, article five is just changing the
[17:55] title of it because the city
[17:56] administrator section was already within
[17:58] it. So, just if someone's looking for
[18:01] stuff about city administrator, it's
[18:02] easier to find that way. Um, article
[18:06] 5.03 though, this was another big change
[18:08] that you guys have made after a lot of
[18:10] deliberation in terms of figuring out
[18:12] what to do with a permanent vacancy and
[18:15] temporary vacancies in the office of the
[18:16] mayor. Um, I know we had talked through
[18:18] this thoroughly, but if there are any
[18:21] changes that you guys wanted to discuss
[18:22] or talk through, we're happy to do so.
[18:27] Just clarifying and I think we did but
[18:30] we managed to figure out the veto with
[18:32] this language. Correct. Yes. Yeah, it
[18:34] should be in there.
[18:37] A4 A4. Yeah, the
[18:40] which I will scroll. Yeah. Okay. Just
[18:43] want to make sure.
[18:46] Um any questions about that before we
[18:48] move
[18:50] on. Okay. We are now on to article 5.05.
[18:55] 05 which is
[18:59] mayor's veto power. So again, this is
[19:02] just clarifying um certain legislation
[19:05] that wasn't subject to the veto power.
[19:06] Anyway,
[19:08] um if you refer back to 4.06 and
[19:11] 4.07A, I think that is talking
[19:15] about the legislation that goes into
[19:17] effect immediately, too. So, just
[19:19] clarifying that it's not really
[19:21] functional for a mayor to have to veto
[19:23] something the day it's or at the council
[19:25] meeting that is passed at or anything
[19:27] like that.
[19:33] Um, we'll go on to
[19:35] 5.06. City administrator, it's a pretty
[19:37] simple change, but consequently, you
[19:39] guys had discussed you wanted council to
[19:41] be able to confirm sort of like a US
[19:44] Senateesque type thing where at least
[19:46] they have to vote. Um, it's simple.
[19:48] Majority is the one we made it here.
[19:49] There's only seven members anyway.
[19:52] So, uh, and then again, just for the
[19:55] contract administration, it's just
[19:57] eliminating that convoluted statutory
[19:59] term and saying it's just the amount set
[20:01] by council that they consider
[20:04] it. And then 5.07 now is the new section
[20:09] regarding the salary of the mayor. Um,
[20:13] we had made a couple changes since we
[20:16] had last discussed it that after
[20:18] consulting with that, who's the law
[20:19] director that I work with. Um, and we
[20:22] have them in front of you if you guys
[20:23] want to look at it. The main change was
[20:25] that we had determined after reading
[20:27] ethics laws um, and some of the case law
[20:29] on it and when the charter actually goes
[20:32] into effect that council would be able
[20:34] to vote on changing the mayor's salary
[20:37] as early as next year for the current
[20:38] term. Um but then so that's why that's
[20:42] where that language at the beginning is
[20:44] that's labeled in red and then at the
[20:46] end this is just clarifying that the
[20:48] mayor is taken completely out of the
[20:50] process because that is where a lot of
[20:52] the ethics laws also were implicated. Um
[20:55] even though the ethics the ethics
[20:56] commission took a really hardline stance
[20:58] that doesn't really line up with
[20:59] statutes but this is just clarifying
[21:01] that to make sure that everything is
[21:04] good on that front. So it'll be this not
[21:06] what's in our
[21:08] Yes. Not that correct. That's Yeah,
[21:11] that's correct. Well, that might be No.
[21:13] So, that is the most updated. So, we we
[21:15] literally sent this like two hours ago.
[21:17] So, the the the version that you guys
[21:19] got last night didn't include this.
[21:21] Okay. But it'll be So, the version that
[21:23] we adopt would be that's the only change
[21:25] from
[21:26] what you guys had received.
[21:30] The I did have the the one question I
[21:32] had about this is it says
[21:39] Where is it? C um mayor salary shall
[21:43] take place at one of council's two
[21:45] regular meetings in October each year a
[21:47] regular mayoral election is
[21:49] held. So it's not going to change until
[21:53] so at that point. So there's two
[21:55] components to this. So one would be if
[21:57] it's passed by the voters, council would
[22:00] have the first shot to change it for
[22:01] this term and then going forward it
[22:04] would be a pre election pre-term vote by
[22:08] council because Amanda if you want to
[22:10] talk through the budgetary reasons for
[22:12] that. So um well the I can speak to the
[22:16] October time frame. Um, I think the
[22:20] original language proposed said it would
[22:22] be done, I believe, in January, but as
[22:24] most of you are probably familiar with
[22:26] our budget process, we do that in the
[22:28] fall. So, in order for me to have some
[22:30] concept of what the mayor is going to
[22:31] make to include it in the budget, I need
[22:33] it a little earlier. Typically, the um
[22:35] city council gets the budget at the end
[22:37] of October, the beginning of November um
[22:39] for the next fiscal year. So, from a
[22:42] timing perspective, that's why we put it
[22:44] in um October. give them as much time to
[22:47] talk about it as possible, but enough
[22:49] time for me to get it into the budget.
[22:51] So
[22:54] now, the only catch is that obviously we
[22:56] wouldn't know who the next mayor would
[22:57] be in October, but there was really no
[23:00] way to make it perfect to align with the
[23:02] budget process and wait for a perfect
[23:05] time to for council to address it. Mhm.
[23:09] I just The reason I brought it up is
[23:10] because I know there was talk about
[23:12] addressing it with council in the next
[23:15] meeting.
[23:16] So, does that will that not apply? Now,
[23:18] it's it still will because if this would
[23:21] have be not adopted by the citizens or
[23:24] by council, we would still have to still
[23:27] that rate for the next two years per for
[23:31] the existing chart.
[23:35] Cool.
[23:37] Everything make sense?
[23:39] All right, we will move on to article
[23:41] six. This was another change that we
[23:43] discussed early on. Um, you guys had
[23:45] expressed a want to make sure that
[23:48] council is required to provide for fire
[23:50] and police protection. And even though
[23:52] it in effect was always going to be that
[23:54] way, this just really mandates it. Um,
[23:57] if I recall, the discussion was only
[23:59] around police and not the fire. Um, not
[24:03] putting the shall in there for fire.
[24:06] Correct me if I'm wrong because because
[24:09] it's it's pretty common to have township
[24:12] fire um and putting shall in there would
[24:16] then require some type of contractual
[24:19] agreement with Madison Madison or Violet
[24:23] or something like that. So if I recall
[24:24] it was only police. Yeah I think
[24:29] I have in my notes that we struck from
[24:31] time to time for fire protection but
[24:33] kept the word may. Okay. Rather than
[24:36] shall. So it would state council may
[24:40] provide for fire protection by contract.
[24:43] Correct. That is a mistake by us. We
[24:45] will fix that. Should it be may on both?
[24:47] Is that what we No, because shall was
[24:50] for the police. Yeah. Always have a
[24:53] police contract. Yeah. So yeah, for the
[24:56] police it would be they can contract or
[24:59] they have to start their department.
[25:00] Start their own department. Those are
[25:01] the only two options. Yeah. Good.
[25:07] Okay. So that that has changed in my
[25:09] version even though it's not changed
[25:10] live up there. Great. Thank you.
[25:13] Absolutely.
[25:15] Um so 6.02
[25:18] legal services. Again, this was just
[25:20] updating it because I think this
[25:21] language was originally written at the
[25:23] beginning of the charter. Um so it was
[25:26] just modernizing it and simplifying it.
[25:29] Um and then all the changes in 6.2 6.02
[25:33] 2 are reflecting that. So 6.02B because
[25:36] the law department already
[25:38] exists. Um that really didn't need to be
[25:42] there anymore. That language that was
[25:44] struck. Mhm. But we had nothing else
[25:48] there. So you can keep on moving
[25:53] to article 7. This was another big
[25:56] discussion that we had talked through
[25:57] regarding the structure of the planning
[25:59] and zoning commission. So this was the
[26:01] way that we had this was the best way we
[26:04] could find to write what you guys had
[26:06] wanted by adding a member of council.
[26:08] They would be the chair and then
[26:09] explaining when they would vote and when
[26:12] they wouldn't in specific
[26:15] scenarios, but if you guys wanted to
[26:17] talk through that or get a better
[26:18] explanation, we're happy to do so. I
[26:20] just have a quick uh spelling issue in
[26:24] section A. Um the red line it says the
[26:27] eighth member instead of the eighth
[26:30] member in my copy. Oh, I saw that. No,
[26:34] that's right. You are correct. That has
[26:37] been changed.
[26:39] Thank you for catching that.
[26:42] Red line or red line.
[26:44] Well, that's what's funny. I as we were
[26:46] reading through some of the articles,
[26:47] there's like a missing period every now
[26:48] and then. So, this is interesting to
[26:52] catch. Um, but any other questions about
[26:55] the planning and zoning section?
[26:58] Yeah, 7.02, it was already gone. We just
[27:02] made sure we just clarified that to make
[27:04] it easier to read. Um, and then
[27:06] renumbered these sections. Uh, the merit
[27:09] system, that was another big um
[27:11] discussion in terms of it just being
[27:13] really complicated to understand. So,
[27:16] this was and be I know you can't see all
[27:18] of it, but it would be in front of you,
[27:19] too. um is this was just an easier way
[27:22] to explain what that section was saying.
[27:24] To the best of my understanding, you
[27:26] don't have a
[27:28] four
[27:29] 7.04. The four is not struck out.
[27:38] 7.043. Yeah,
[27:41] it is. It's It's very hard to see. Is it
[27:44] on the floor?
[27:50] Yeah, sorry. This was I was whenever I
[27:52] was writing this one out, fixing the
[27:54] numbers, it was hard to keep track where
[27:55] I was. Yeah. Yeah, it was in way, but
[27:59] yes, it is there. Sorry. Okay. Um I was
[28:02] right there with you,
[28:05] and we will we will confirm that the
[28:07] letters and numbers add up too in the
[28:08] final review. So, we'll double we'll
[28:11] double check that.
[28:13] Um 705 again is omitted. So then that
[28:18] led to 706 becoming
[28:20] 704. 707 to becoming 705. Um no changes
[28:27] there. Finance tax department we did not
[28:31] have any changes in article
[28:34] 8. Article nine. So, this was just
[28:37] clarifying
[28:39] um again in eliminating ambiguity and
[28:42] just making it the maximum amount of
[28:44] signatures set by the county board of
[28:46] elections. Um so again, I would hope
[28:49] that's not too controversial, but we can
[28:51] discuss again if you guys would
[28:55] like and
[28:57] then 11.01c
[29:00] 01C was the next change and this was
[29:04] just uh you guys had wanted to add some
[29:06] accountability in terms of unexcused
[29:07] absences for council members. Um so just
[29:11] cutting that down from 4 to 2 and 6 to
[29:17] 4 and then I think that was it the u
[29:22] effective dates. Yeah. Effective date,
[29:25] which that's that's stock language,
[29:27] which we'll just implement at the end of
[29:29] the two. I don't think there's really
[29:30] any policy to discuss. I I do have a
[29:32] question about 9.01 the nominations. Oh,
[29:35] yeah. Um, what is the maximum set by
[29:38] Franklin County?
[29:40] That is a fantastic question. I can look
[29:42] that up real
[29:43] quick. But I think it I think it has
[29:46] percentage of
[29:48] voters. I don't I don't know what the
[29:50] role number is now, but I know it's
[29:51] always based on the amount of votes in
[29:54] the county in the previous governor's
[29:56] election, I think. So, it it's it
[29:59] fluctuates all the time. I'm not sure
[30:00] what it is right now, but we can I just
[30:02] I don't want it to be higher than 3%.
[30:06] Because that's what it was before or
[30:08] that's 3% of the electors. I'm sorry.
[30:10] That's maximum
[30:12] as well. So, and I think those
[30:15] provisions I think the state also has a
[30:16] maximum for signatures. Yeah, the state
[30:19] mandates that because they don't
[30:20] essentially want to go through and get
[30:22] have someone get like 300 uh signatures
[30:25] and then they have to go through and
[30:27] verify all those. It just kind Yeah. I
[30:28] just didn't know like maximum versus
[30:31] minimum like what's the minimum versus
[30:33] maximum that's set by the that's set by
[30:36] the state set by the county board of
[30:38] election. Well, yeah, but through the
[30:40] county. Yeah, but it's all state. You
[30:43] know, I think I think I see where you're
[30:44] going. We can clarify the language too
[30:46] of what the 1% is talking about if
[30:49] that's where a point of confusion might
[30:51] be. Should Should they post both be does
[30:54] the county board of elections set the
[30:56] minimum and the maximum? Yeah, that's
[30:58] Yeah, we can we can we can just make it
[31:00] the minimum and maximum. Yeah, it's a
[31:02] great idea.
[31:06] Okay.
[31:13] Yeah, especially if that ends up
[31:14] becoming out of date at some point, that
[31:16] would be good to just add the broader
[31:17] language. Yeah.
[31:25] All right, that has been added. Um, is
[31:29] there any discussion left? Any
[31:32] questions? Anybody had any disagreements
[31:34] you wanted to make sure was on the
[31:35] record?
[31:40] And I read the full sentence. Disregard
[31:43] what I was asking about that. It makes
[31:45] sense after I read the full thing. So
[31:47] cool. Never mind.
[31:51] Yeah. When you started when you brought
[31:53] it up, I read it again and I was like,
[31:54] "Wait, he's got a point." Then I read it
[31:56] again.
[31:58] I was like, "Wait, that does make
[31:59] sense." Put a sentence in there at the
[32:01] end. Say, "Read this twice." Yeah. Yeah.
[32:04] Or maybe three times. That might make
[32:06] sense. Finally.
[32:09] Okay. Um, okay. So, um, I guess correct
[32:15] me if I'm wrong, but at this point, we
[32:17] can
[32:18] [Music]
[32:20] pause for audio. Um, I guess take a roll
[32:24] call vote on final
[32:27] approval of I guess the the charter as a
[32:31] whole
[32:32] is as we've gone through it with all the
[32:34] red line
[32:37] um additions, amendments, what have you.
[32:42] Um,
[32:44] again, council decides after we send it
[32:47] to them whether they take it whole cloth
[32:51] or piece meal it or scrap it all
[32:54] together. So, so the chair will make a
[32:57] motion to approve the updated uh redline
[33:01] chart. So, moved. Motion made by chair,
[33:05] second by Mr. Connor. Roll call. Mr.
[33:08] Milligan. Yes. Mr. Connor. Yes. Mr.
[33:10] Hust. Yes, Mr. Carer.
[33:15] Yes, Mr. Lan. Yes, Mr. Mcraer. Yes,
[33:33] [Music]
[33:35] he's got something.
[33:38] Mr. Scanland. Yes. Mr. Steelman. Yes,
[33:41] Mr. Vile. Yes, Mr. Young. Yes.
[33:46] All right. And uh lastly, personally, I
[33:48] just want to thank every Yeah, go ahead.
[33:49] We also have one more motion, sorry,
[33:50] that you need to make, too. It would
[33:52] just be a motion to allow the chair,
[33:54] Chuck, to work with the law department
[33:55] to finalize the final report that will
[33:57] be sent to council for them to consider
[33:59] it, too. Okay. And you can do that by
[34:01] voice, I think.
[34:04] Um, all in favor?
[34:08] I thank you.
[34:10] Um, Mr. Milikin, um, the charter review
[34:14] commission five years ago when they met
[34:16] the the chair, um, actually came to the
[34:19] council meeting to kind of present. Um,
[34:21] I was going to see if that's something
[34:23] you were interested in doing or if you
[34:25] would rather staff do it. Just um, all
[34:28] of you planned on being there. I think,
[34:30] um, I know Stacy had interest in being
[34:33] there. I think the more people the
[34:36] marrier. Um, by all means, everybody
[34:38] show up and support all.
[34:42] I'll hold your hand. I don't have a
[34:43] timeline on
[34:45] that. The next meeting when that meeting
[34:50] doing the math, we have to have it done
[34:53] by
[34:55] I think it's July. July because so city
[34:58] council takes the second meeting in July
[35:00] off every year as their recess in order
[35:02] to get this to um the board of elections
[35:05] in time. has to be done before August,
[35:08] which would push us back to their first
[35:09] meeting in July, which
[35:12] I it's July 7th. Seventh. Seventh. Does
[35:15] that sound right? Yeah. Um, so if they
[35:17] want to do three reads on it,
[35:20] first meeting in June would be the
[35:21] latest we could do it. So,
[35:24] um, my thought is we'll let Mr. Milikin
[35:28] work with the law department, get this
[35:29] all squared away, and then we'll send
[35:31] everyone an email with that meeting
[35:33] date. Um, just so you're aware of uh if
[35:36] you are able to attend and would like
[35:37] to, you'll know when it's going to
[35:38] happen. So,
[35:42] yes, I will send me a copy of it,
[35:46] please.
[35:49] Juicy.
[35:52] Uh, well, depending on which meeting it
[35:55] is, it might be.
[35:58] All right. Um so again I just wanted to
[36:01] thank everybody for uh their
[36:02] participation. Everybody's uh thoughts
[36:05] and opinions were uh highly valued. I
[36:08] mean it's a fun process for me
[36:11] personally and hopefully it was for you
[36:12] and um I encourage everybody to stay
[36:16] involved in our local government and
[36:19] that's what makes us great is we got so
[36:20] many good people here.
[36:22] So it's been nice working with you all.
[36:25] That uh chair will make a motion to
[36:27] adjourn. Need a second. Second.
