CITY HALL Sub Committee on Council Vacancies: Present: Edward Commers (Chair), Mona Hintzman, David Ault, and Carole Blowers (Administrative Assistant) The meeting was called to order by Chairperson Edward Commers at 7:08 p.m. The Administrative Assistant passed out copies of the suggestion provided to her by Commissioner Ulyssess Boyd as he proposed at our last regular meeting, Chairperson Commers stated he had put together some different wording which he presented at this time to the sub committee. Major differences in his proposed wording to our existing charter wording were: City council must publically declare the vacancy within ten days of its occurance; omission of moral turpitude; addition of departure of residence from the city; creation of a new section 2.05A which would spell out in detail the process for filling vacancies if less than one year and if more than one year; addition of wording that Council members cannot appoint a council member to fill unexpired term of Mayor's office; inclusion of Commissioner Boyd's suggestion which dealt with appointment of members to raise membership to a quorom (3); inclusion of Subdivision 4, Section 4.05 of Lino Lakes charter as well as portions of Subdivision 5, Section 4.05 of Lino Lakes charter. The Administrative Assistant will retype these revisions into a new form and send it to the sub committee members for their review. The meeting ended at 7 48 p. m. Reppectfully submitted, Caro J.
