MEMO FOR: RICHHFIELD CHARTER COMMISSION MEMBERS
FROM: JOHN L. EASTERWOOD
PRESIDENT
SUBJECT: ANNUAL CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING
1. With this memo you will find four things: the minutes of our last meeting, a slate of proposed
officers for 2003, an agenda for the annual meeting of the Charter Commission which
constitutes the meeting announcement, and a set of draft ordinances for changes to the
charter.
2. The draft ordinances represent a portion of the changes we discussed at the last meeting.
Ms. Thomson is still working on other proposed changes that were discussed at our last
meeting.
3. I have had a brief discussion with the City Manager concerning the possible proposed
changes to the Charter. In keeping with our discussion at the last meeting, she agrees that it
would be useful to schedule a work session with the City Council to discuss these matters
before we vote on what to pass on to the Council for action. Consequently, I do not anticipate
that there will be any vote taken at our annual meeting on 14 January. My proposal would be
that we take time to review the drafts that accompany this memo.
4. After Ms. Thomson is able to compete drafts of the rest of the proposed changes to the
Charter, we will schedule a meeting to discuss them. Following that meeting, we will meet
with the Council in a work session. One more meeting will be scheduled after the work
session to vote on the proposed ordinances that we will pass on to the Council for their
formal consideration and action.
5. I thank all of you in advance for your patience in this process. If you have any questions or
suggestions regarding our present process or my proposal about how to proceed, please feel
free to call me at 612-869-0509 or contact me by email at: captin@att.net.
