Charter Commission sets meeting schedule, agrees to pre-approve minutes and adjourns

At the close of the Aug. 6 hearing commissioners settled administrative matters: they discussed meeting cadence (first/third weeks versus biweekly), agreed on Aug. 20 as the next meeting date and debated the role of meeting minutes. One commissioner offered a motion that minutes be prepared and approved before each meeting. “I'll offer that motion,” a commissioner said; the chair then called for those in favor to raise their hands.

The motion to adjourn was made and seconded and the chair closed the meeting. The record shows the motion to require pre-approved minutes was offered and members indicated support by raising hands; the transcription does not include a numerical tally or roll-call votes for that motion. Commissioners agreed to avoid holiday conflicts when scheduling and to build a roadmap with milestones for the charter review process.
