It would be beneficial to have additional items in before the Commission in May. Mrs. Myers – the opportunity to educate and create communications is stopped when it is put on the ballot, so you can use this time prior to giving it to the commission for the ballot to communicate via a public information campaign. Mr. Scray – so if we wanted to, we could put together a flyer to have the city present the data informing what the committee is doing and recommending. Attorney – yes, until it gets placed on the ballot. Chairman – we could provide something to the commission, but they may send it back. More discussion ensued. All agreed they were happy to provide the verbiage for the city clerk to the commission in May. Chairman – feels we would easily meet the May deadline for section 6 as well.

Interim City Manager Chris LightfootCommissioners Sam Peebles | Pat Perno | Jamie Warrick | Judy Tinder City Attorney Amy Myers Mayor Dave Lowery  They would like to move forward and have the language finalized for the clerk’s position.  Mr. Scray is hesitant to put forward any other section until the charter is fully finalized. The decisions made as a committee after the clerk issue is finally decided will be dependent on whether there will or won’t be a clerk.  Dates: May (special – March 20th deadline for commission to call for a referendum), August (primary), November mid-terms (General). Further discussion ensued. By March 20th the committee will have to complete ballot language by end of next meeting for any items to send to the commission. Mr. Switzer – what is the process? Do we send items when the commission asks for it or when the committee is ready to send items to them?  Chairman Langford – the committee should attempt to meet the deadlines the commission asks for. Once the commission receives it, they will review it and may send it back to the committee for further development. o The committee needs directions from the commission about when they want the deliverables. Chairman Lanford asked Mr. Lightfoot to have add agenda item to the next commission meeting to ask the Commission to decide and inform the committee of dates for specific items. (Ms. Myers suggested doing this before the Arc presentation item). Mr. Scray’s preference is the AI generated 74-word option (the clerk independence version) Mr. Tucker – if we go with this and they want clerk/treasurer will the language have to change? Ms. Myers - that specifically can be changed by resolution. Chairman Langford – prefers “hired” rather than appointed. Ms. Myers – yes, they want that power to hire – to change the word appointed to hire.  Mr. Switzer – need to start with “serving as the city’s official custodian and record keeper” … “hired and compensated by and reporting directly to the city commission” After further discussion the following verbiage was decided on: Shall the City Charter be amended to create the office of City Clerk, hired and compensated by and reporting to the City Commission, serving as the City's official custodian and record-keeper, responsible for maintaining ordinances, resolutions, minutes, contracts, and public documents; managing public records requests; preparing meeting minutes; administering oaths; overseeing municipal elections as required by law; and performing these duties independently in accordance with state law, City policies, and direction from the City Commission?  Ms. Myers will put this into the form of a resolution and bring it back to the next committee meeting (18th) to discuss and vote on. o She should be able to finalize these in the first meeting in March to send to the commission. Item # 5. Review and confirm updates recommended for Article I Sec. 6B-1 through Sec. 6C-2b (was item 6) Discussion ensued. To continue the review at the next meeting. Item #6. Continue the Review of Article I from Sec. 6C-3 (was 7) The committee concurred to table considering and updating Article I from Sec. 6C-3 seeing as only three members remain.

The editors have supplied catchlines where necessary, inserted material in brackets where necessary to correct obvious errors or for clarification, and have omitted all titles and enacting, repealing, severability and effective date clauses. The absence of a history note indicates that the provision remains unchanged from the original act. Obvious misspellings have been corrected without notation.
