CHARTER COMMISSION AD HOC COMMITTEE REPORT ON ARTICLE II SECTION 3-2 <br />October 25, 2018 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />Our committee discussed not allowing a Council person to run for election after a pause. We <br />decided that it was not beneficial for the County to eliminate someone who wants to be elected <br />to the Council again as that person would have institutionai knowledge and experience that <br />would be an asset on the Council. <br />Because the term issue has been voted on previously and the two-year term retained, our <br />committee requests that there be some publicity of the rationale for a four-year term. in the <br />past the two-year election cycle has appealed to the voters as a way to vote out quickly the <br />Council members that are not responsive to the districts in which they serve, As we have <br />outlined above we would like to educate the voters about the benefits of a four-year term. <br />Attached to this Report are the following items the Ad Hoc Committee utilized in part to form <br />its findings and recommendations: <br />1. Communication No. 2.1 — Report on Section 3-2 — Council Composition and Terms <br />2. Council Member Composition and Terms by County <br />3. Amendment 1 to Section 3-2 — Minutes from 1990 Charter Commission <br />4. Amendment 2 to Section 3-2 — Minutes from 1995 Council Meetings <br />5, Amendment 3 to Section 3-2 — Minutes from 2000 Charter Commission <br />On behalf of the Ad Hoc Committee, we appreciate the opportunity to delve into this issue and <br />share our perspective and look forward to further discussion. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ad Hoc Committee Chair Sally Rice <br />
