II. Approval of Minutes
Tim Frohling made a motion to approve the minutes from the May 8, 2006 meeting, it was seconded
by Dave Clark, and the motion passed unanimously.
III. Comments from the Public
Pat Hughey thanked the Committee for their hard work and stated that she hopes the City Council will
consider the recommendations the Committee has made.
IV. Discussion
Preliminary Report - Len Rubin stated the preliminary report had been composed from previous
meeting minutes and his personal notes. He asked if the Committee had any comments or if there were
any inaccuracies in the report. Tim Frohling made a motion to approve the report, Dave Clark
seconded it, and the motion passed unanimously.
Final Report - The Committee discussed the final report that is due to City Council on July 1, 2006.
There was consensus among the Committee that they would use the preliminary report as their final
recommendation unless they are asked by City Council to make changes.
Waivers - Paul Auerbach handed out a written statement regarding the City Council's ability to grant
waivers. He would like any waivers from builders that are 25% over the standard set in the City's
Land Development Regulations or Comprehensive Plan to go to a referendum vote. Len Rubin asked
if the Committee wanted to revisit this topic and the Committee did not want to readdress this matter.
Meeting Date - The Committee discussed whether they should meet again since they had already
submitted their report to the City Council. Since they had gone through the entire Charter, the
Committee agreed they would not meet again unless the City Council had an issue with their report.
Tim Frohling noted that he felt the charter review process was rushed and that in the future it should
start earlier in the year.
