HERKES: They don't call me because I'm on the Commission. RAY: I'd like to wait till Steve gets back before we go into the Managing Director. He should be back. Let's take a brief recess. RECESSED The Chairman called a recess at 9:55 a.m. RECONVENED The meeting reconvened at 10:03 a.m. RAY: I'd like to call the meeting back to order. Under Unfinished Business, a couple of items listed here in regard to the vote we took on the 6-3 Council terms, and some stuff we need to discuss further, as far as the mechanics of that; how it would work. The term limits is one, and then how non-partisan voting would work. In other words, if the non-partisan gets voted in, then for instance, how do the Council persons at -large get elected under the non-partisan scenario. Chris, you want to go over this, and bring up, if there's anything else. As part of that overall suggested Amendment, I assume these would be lumped together. In other words, if we're recommending 6-3, how it would work, so we need to give Chris some direction on that. Sue. IRVINE: Did you just say that 6-3 and non-partisanship would be lumped together? YUEN: Is Roland coming back? Because he made the motion to do that. Why don't we wait till Roland comes back on that. RAY: Okay. MARTIN: As I was mentioning to the Chair outside, if I may. RAY: Sure. MARTIN: Because he's not back, but it's on the non-partisan. I was talking to our counsel from the stairs the other day, and two ideas came up to me regarding the non-partisan. If a person runs unopposed, they should only run in the Primary, and they be bound over as elected, and wouldn't have to run in the General, therefore saving money on the printing of the next ballot. Also, if two people run, the same thing. RAY: Wasn't it last time that they didn't even go on the ballot. Don't you remember that? Because Dominic was all upset because he didn't even get on the ballot because he ran unopposed. YUEN: Yes, if you're unopposed, you don't go on the second ballot. 15
