Charter Commission - Transcript of Meeting of July 12, 2000Page 33 of 45 SANTANGELO: John, I had a question. RAY: Yes. SANTANGELO: I like the budget and just real quick to get my two cents in here. First of all, I think this is wonderful, like Marni said, and I think it’s really civic of us to do it in a way that encourages people to make copies and distribute it. HERKES: Yes. We’re really not talking about printing. We’re talking about Xeroxing. HENRY: We’re talking about copying and folding. That is two-sided copying and folding in four. SANTANGELO: But what I’d like to see, and I polled some of the people here and they agreed, the Question first and then the Digest because sometimes you see a lot of words and people don’t read it, the Question. RAY: Well, okay. Let’s deal with if this is the format that we’re going to go with first and then we’ll discuss – because I think there’s going to be a lot of input. SANTANGELO: And what I would not want us to run out of, so I don’t care about radio and newspaper. We could knock off one of the newspapers and have more of these. But having these in hardware stores and grocery stores and never running out of them – HERKES: Roland will be happy to copy all you want. KUROZAWA: For free? HIGASHI: The County has it’s own copy – HERKES: The County can copy – SANTANGELO: But do you understand what I mean? That having enough of these that over the period of our campaign, because I think this alone is a stand alone. This is a great thing that you’ve done, Sharron. I think it’s a great way to get the word out because anybody that’s going to read the Question and the Digest, if they want the actual Amendment, they’ll go get it. But I would be very comfortable going into the voting booth with this and so, to me, this is the emphasis. RAY: So is everybody okay with this format-wise? If you are, then we need to decide how we want to edit and refine it. Do a couple or three people want to take that on as working with Sharron to just fine tune this thing in terms the graphics, the Question vs. the Digest? Any volunteers? HERKES: Yes, can we have pictures? SANTANGELO: Keep it simple. IRVINE: I think if anybody has any ideas right now, which like John does, somebody ought to take those down. I suppose Sharron will. Then we probably do need a sub-committee. file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 07-12-00.html7/1/2011
