Description
A
The
broadcast
of
the
regular
meeting
of
the
charter
commission
will
now
begin
good
afternoon.
Welcome
to
this
live
broadcast
of
our
virtual
meeting.
This
meeting
includes
the
remote
participation
of
members
as
authorized
under
minnesota
statutes,
section
13d
.021,
due
to
the
declared
local
health
pandemic.
A
The
city
will
be
recording
and
posting
this
meeting
to
the
city's
website
and
youtube
channel
as
a
means
of
increasing
public
access
and
transparency.
This
meeting
is
public
and
subject
to
the
minnesota
open
meeting
law.
My
name
is
barry
clegg
and
I'm
the
chair
of
the
charter.
Commission
I'll
now
call
a
meeting
to
order
and
ask
the
clerk
to
call
the
rules
so
that
we
may
verify
the
presence
of
a
court.

Thank
you,
mr
chair.
The
public
safety
work
group
reconvey
convened
in
march
basically
to
consider
and
review
a
new
public
safety
amendment
that
had
been
proposed
by
the
city
council.
The
new
amendment
is
substantially
similar
to
the
one
we
received
and
studied
and
reviewed
a
year
ago.
In
that
again
it
creates
department
of
public
safety.
G
A
E
C
B
E
A
A
That's
the
consideration
of
a
possible
substitute
which
is
still
at
the
work
group
level
and
not
ready
for
consideration
by
the
commission.
Item
number
seven
on
the
agenda
is
receiving
an
update
from
the
government
structure,
work
group
on
the
status
of
its
review
and
evaluation
of
improvements
to
city
structure.
Regarding
the
charter
defined
relationship
between
city
council,
the
mayor
and
city
staff.
E
H
A
So
the
work
group
final
report
was
included
in
your
packet
and
also
emailed
out
to
you
at
the
time.
It
was
final
a
couple
of
days
ago.
I
hope
everyone
has
had
a
chance
to
review
it.
I
think
it's
a
remarkably
excellent
piece
of
work
and
there's
a
motion
from
the
work
group,
which
does
not
require
a
second
that
we
adopt
that
report
as
the
report
of
the
charter
commission.
A
E
E
C
B
C
E
Yes,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
adopt
the
draft
ordinance
that
has
been
put
forward
by
the
city
attorney's
office
with
respect
to
transmitting
it.
We've
already
obviously
adopted
the
government
structure
amendment
to
send
it
to
in
terms
of
a
vote,
but
we
were
waiting
on
the
official
language
from
the
city
clerk's
office
for
the
amendment,
the
the
clean
copy
of
the
amendment
and
the
proposed
language
for
the
ballot
to
send
over
to
the
city
council.
A
F
Chair
clegg,
this
is
commissioner
ginger.
I
can't
raise
my
hand
unfortunately
go
ahead.
Commissioner,
I
want
to
go
back
a
little
bit
to
the
earlier
question.
I
agree
with
you
that
the
report
that
has
come
from
the
work
group
is
really
a
remarkable
document,
and
I
would
really
like
to
thank
the
chairs
of
that
study
group
for
the
work
they
put
into
this,
but
it
really
lays
out
in
great
detail
the
work
that
was
put
into
coming
up,
not
only
with
report
but,
more
importantly,
the
proposed
amendment.
F
I
I
just
want
to
echo
what
commissioner
ginder
says.
I
think
this
is
a
extremely
important
document
and
I
think
it
it
can
really
for
the
future.
I
think
it's
going
to
give
guidance
to
many
mayors
and
councils
in
in
the
years
ahead,
and
I
would
certainly
endorse
it,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
that
work
group
put
in
to
put
this
together.
I
know
how
many
hours
and
hours
were
spent
with
past
and
present
officials
to
try
to
get
this
right
and
I
think
they've
got
it.
A
E

C
C
A
F
A
A
E
C
C
B
C
A
K
A
E
C
C
B
C
K
L
A
L
And
if
I
could
speak
to
that
motion,
certainly
the
first
thing
I'd
like
to
do
is
just
talk
about
the
some
high
level
changes
that
we
made
I'll
try
and
be
brief.
The
we
clarified
that
the
chair
of
the
redistricting
group,
even
if
just
a
temporary
chair
for
one
meeting,
must
be
a
charter.
Commissioner,
we
added
language
to
reflect
procedures
for
remote
meetings
that
have
developed
during
cobit
added.
L
L
So
that's
those
are
the
changes
in
that
we
made
the
highlights
of
the
changes
we
made
in
the
procedural
rules,
and
I,
while
I
made
the
motion,
I'd
like
to
also
put
forth
a
amendment
and
I'm
not
sure
the
proper
process
for
doing
that,
but
to
keep
in
line
with
what
the
advisory
group
selection
work.
Group
documents
say:
we'd
like
to
change
his
her
to
their
them
throughout
this
document,
as
well
as
the
the
principles
document.
L
E
C
B
C
A
L
And
if
I
could
just
quickly
go
through
since
there
were
a
lot
of
changes
document
I'll
do
the
same.
There's
there's
less
highlights
on
this,
though
first
it
delineates
more
specifically
and
more
up
to
date,
the
city's
departmental
support
reconfirms
a
bit
more
strongly
the
equal
participation
of
the
advisory
group
and
nonpartisan
nature
of
the
process.
L
It
confirms
and
revises
for
further
clarity.
The
goal
of
bringing
an
array
of
diversity
to
the
redistricting
process,
through
the
selection
of
the
advisory
group
further
defines
diversity
to
include
racial,
ethnic,
sexual
orientation,
gender
identity,
geographic
representation,
socioeconomic
diversity,
educational
and
or
occupational
background,
and
eliminates
the
provisions
for
public
hearing
and
comment
on
the
advisor
group,
job
description
and
application
form.
A
E
B
C
L
L
C
D
D
I
had
excellent
feedback
from
christina
kendrick
and
I
thank
her
again
she's
going
to
be
a
valuable
asset
as
we
move
forward
and
we'll
have
a
better
report
in
the
next
few
months.
We
are
going
to
learn
from
the
outreach
work
of
for
advisory
group
selection
and
that
will
inform
how
we
will
do
outreach
as
we
get
further
along
to
educate
the
community
about
redistricting
in
general.
So
thank
you
to
all
the
work
group
chairs
for
being
helpful
in
working
together
on
this.
It's
been
great
so
far.
A
J
I
think
it
might
be
useful
for
you
at
some
time
to
do
what
you
did
when
you
adopted
those
criteria
for
your
evaluations
of
charter
proposed
amendments.
That
is
maybe
you
should
consider
coming
up
with
recommended
guidelines
for
the
courts
to
use
in
deciding
what
to
do
with
inconsistent
amendments
that
the
voters
approve
in
an
election.
I
think
they
would
add
further
transparency
and
credibility
to
the
amendment
process.
It
might
be
something
as
simple
as
whichever
or
two
conflicting
amendments
gets.
