INTRODUCTION OF COMMISSIONERSPage 4 of 29 <br />Procedure that Rudy supplied to everyone that were adopted by the last Commission and <br />which are still in effect. There are things in there that you may or may not like. My <br />recommendation is that since they are in effect, you start off with those rules and if you wish to <br />make a change, there is a 30-day notice requirement for a public hearing. <br />SANTANGELO: Do you have to have a public hearing? <br />WURDEMAN: Yes, to change a rule. It’s the law. So perhaps you might consider scheduling a <br />Public Hearing early on and the question of rules can be debated and any changes made <br />pursuant to what comes up at that hearing. In the meantime, you can operate with these rules. <br />BALOG: One question. In Rudy’s outline, he said that we should look at when we would like to <br />schedule our meetings. But if you’re saying you’re going by the rules that were adopted, it <br />rd <br />already says that on the 3 Wednesday of each month, at 3:30, we’ll meet. So, do we have to <br />have a hearing on what day and what time? <br />WURDEMAN: You can change that, but you’re going to have the rules to change it. You can <br />have a special meeting, but a special meeting has to be noticed in the newspaper, and that <br />kind of stuff, it is a special meeting. <br />IRVINE: It says unless otherwise specified, therefore couldn’t we just specify otherwise? <br />SANTANGELO: And that’s in reference to the regular meeting? <br />IRVINE: A regular meeting, yeah. <br />WURDEMAN: Well, I don’t what you would specify. <br />rd <br />BALOG: To me it’s clear, it says, "Regular meeting will be held on the 3 Wednesday of each <br />month at 3:30 PM unless otherwise specified." And if you read through this whole thing, it <br />doesn’t say where else a regular meeting will occur. <br />WURDEMAN: Right, so a special meeting, you’re free to call special meetings, a majority of <br />you say you want a certain time and place and you vote on it then we have to get it noticed <br />and.. <br />SANTANGELO: And that would be in addition to the Wednesday meeting? <br />WURDEMAN: Yes. <br />IRVINE: Which means we are already off our whole procedure, right? On a Saturday afternoon <br />here? <br />WURDEMAN: Well, this is an organizational meeting. I believe it’s been noted. If Wednesday <br />is a bad day, that’s the first change you should make. You’re starting off here, and these are <br />the rules that we have, and they can be changed, but they have to be changed using the <br />correct procedure. <br />HERKES: We have not adopted these rules yet. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 2-20-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
