INTRODUCTION OF COMMISSIONERSPage 17 of 29 <br />the information on what past committees were, and then give input. <br />RAY: Solicit input from all commissioners. <br />BESS: Just a clarification on the selection committees, it was mentioned that maybe it was a <br />good idea to have two or three people recommended, I think Kevin mentioned that. So and I <br />noticed that Jim Juvik’s committee recommended one very highly. So, I like the idea of having <br />more than one person that we would run through them all and come up with three names and <br />we could come up with our recommendations but we have three names if at all possible. <br />RAY: So we have a motion to defer and to network. In regard to the networking, if any of you <br />have any thoughts on this, feel free to let me know, pass that information on. <br />SANTANGELO: Do we all have email? We should all have email. <br />BALOG: Not all of us do. Because not all of us know how to use a computer. <br />SANTANGELO: Well then, you shouldn’t be on the commission. <br />BALOG: Well I have a fax machine and if you spend time to type or write I’ll read what you <br />said, if you don’t too bad. <br />RAY: We’ll take advantage of whatever communications vehicles are available to us. I have a <br />email, and also through the HLPC office, that’ll work pretty well and there’s a secretary. <br />Anyway, I’ll include the HLPC office fax number and phones and then my home email. All in <br />favor of that motion? <br />ALL: Aye. <br />RAY: Opposed? Okay. Preliminary Discussion on Goals and Objectives. <br />HERKES: We’ve got some goals. That we have a document finished by 6/30/00 ready to go to <br />the Council or Corp Council, who does it go to? The amendments have to go to the Elections <br />Office. So, it goes to the Clerk, the County Clerk by 6/30/00. <br />RAY: I think that’s a bare minimum. <br />BALOG: It goes back to staffing and whatnot, but one of the goals always has been is to make <br />sure that the Commission or Board is available to the public when they need to be available. <br />That’s why I advocated for at least a staff person, or someone where they can call, because <br />there may be people in the general public and the worst thing that can happen is, to me my <br />opinion, they call someone like Corp Counsel’s office and they get a secretary, who works for <br />the HGEA, like my wife, and says "I don’t know", so they say "Try calling over here", and they <br />call to the next place and say "Can I get a hold of these guys?" So one of the goals is that we <br />gotta be accessible to the general public because there’s a lot of rumblings in the public about <br />this Charter Commission, even in my own community and I just want to make sure that <br />somehow, if they want to call someplace, they have a place to call and get information out of. <br />Besides our home personal emails, I don’t think that’s how it should be handled. <br />SANTANGELO: Well, that’s communication among ourselves. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 2-20-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
