INTRODUCTION OF COMMISSIONERSPage 26 of 29 have. Oh, we won’t make it, will we? Well, anyway, to have it noticed, so it has it on our whenever meeting. And maybe we don’t need to meet till March 17, or do we. We should discuss that today. WURDEMAN: No particular preference on third Wednesday? That’s fine? LEGASPI: You might have a conflict with the Council. SANTANGELO: Well, lets not meet here. WURDEMAN: The Liquor Commission. LEGASPI: Okay, the Liquor Commission. BALOG: Can I ask a question, Corp Counsel, since you’re representing us today? Why do we have to specify a date and time? If we can agree to meet after 5:00 in our own self and say the meetings will be held after 5:00 on a date noticed to the public properly, because there was no set schedule when the Planning Commission ever met and those are regular scheduled meetings. I don’t think the Charter is going to say that a commission has to specify date and time, yeah? WURDEMAN: I don’t think that this is a really good provision but it’s in here. 13-20-C of the Charter says: "The time and place of all regular meetings of the Council, Board or Commission shall be provided in the rules, adopted for the conduct of it’s business." So, your predecessors seem to have contemplated that there would be a regular meeting date set in advance. BALOG: Well, a regular could mean monthly. Because what can happen, I can see happening is you get your monthly conflicts of stuff that’s important and people taking vacations, and RAY: Well, how about this? How about we set up the regular meeting, unless otherwise specified, and see how that goes. HERKES: Unless otherwise specified seems to be real clear. RAY: Okay, the third Wednesday. So, we are saying that the next meeting has to start at 3:30? WURDEMAN: No, call it a special meeting and have it at 5:00. RAY: Okay, so the next meeting is Wednesday, March 17. th SANTANGELO: I have a question, if we made it a little bit later, like the 4 Wednesday, couldn’t we then take up all this? Because that would give the 30 day notice? BALOG: Well, that’s the point though, if you delay it one week, give the notice, it would be published and you could actually vote on it instead of having it at the next meeting. WURDEMAN: Do you want the public hearing scheduled for April? BALOG: What day did you just give, John? file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 2-20-99.html7/1/2011
