What you said about getting public input is exactly right.
Like at some point, we need to give the public a chance to weigh in, a chance to give input, and based on their input, we, the council, should do something.
Not at the last minute by amendments.
We should, you know, if we're going to make amendments, we should make decisions before we've had, we've let the public say what it needs to say.
and again i think what the city manager said that's not the problem at all it's not actually about i think that if the charter if the language required flexibility or vagueness you would put that into the changes you'd put that in description of the changes but those aren't there i think at some point if we needed cleanup if we needed you needed time to put flexibility into that language if you needed to show well these are the gaps and this is how we're going to do that that's what i want to see at the next meeting and i want to see this before the
we decide that we set in stone that these are the level one, these are the amendments, these are the changes that we'd like to make.
At some point, we need to know what we vote on to put on a ballot measure should be as close to what the suggested changes are.
And at this point, I don't think we're there.
i understand everything else but right now voting on these are what we'd like to set in stone and if we need to we can amend that later seems like the wrong way to do it i think right now we should do exactly what the the motion is we should have staff prepare report put things on a website so that people can comment let them comment and then based on the comments afterwards when we reconvene get a presentation of all the work that the that the staff has done and then at that point make a decision of what should be on the
The ballot measure or not, but to say today we just want to get things going This is about making a charter.
This isn't something that's gonna happen every other year This is not something that's gonna happen, you know once every ten years and for us to rush this It doesn't make any sense to do that.
No.
No.
With that second, can I suggest a rewording, not a direction to put on the ballot, but a direction to staff to prepare the materials?
I'm not sure that we answered Councilmember Cox's question, and let me try and do that.
This is currently a level three, as designated in the staff report, which says that staff is essentially asking the council if you would like this as a separate ballot question.
And so it was not included in your prior motion because that was for what staff presented as the level ones and twos.
And so this motion would be direction to staff to prepare a separate ballot question that you would review and act on on July 14th.
If you approve both of them on the ballot, what you would have is a comprehensive charter cleanup and a separate question about procurement.
Right, so what I would say is, as contemplated in that item, it would not, we would not schedule a meeting on either the 23rd or July 7th.
