Qs Regarding the Charter Review Committee Report

Forgive me for all these questions, but since we've had two members of the Charter Review Committee kind enough to post, I'll throw these questions out there:

1.  Who wrote the report? 

In other words, who is responsible for writing the "Background" on page 2?  Who is responsible for the summary discussions regarding recommendations made for each item? Was this done by one person on the committee? Multiple people?  Were there drafts of this report brought before the group?

2.  Why did the chairman, Tom Brickey, not sign the report? Please see p. 3

3.  I had trouble following the procedures outlined in the last paragraph on p 2 regarding the presence or absence of members and their signing of recommendations.  "The recommendations are signed by the members of the committee present when the written recommendation was presented.  There may be instances where members who voted a recommendation were not present to sign that recommendation, or vice versa."

Was there a difference between a vote during a meeting regarding an issue and a written recommendation being voted on?  It seems to be the case, because - to use Article III, Section 8 as an example - you have Kent Bradshaw's signature there, but he is not indicated as present in the minutes during which this was topic was discussed - unless I missed his name on the list or there was an error?  It seems strange to me that you could not be present for a discussion but vote on a recommendation.  Was that the case in some instances?

Thank you.

A summation of the Charter meetings and the draft language that was to be used for various Council recommendations was given to us throughout the time period. It was then discussed at our final meeting as we were signing off on the final recommendations. As Mr. Nagy said, Les Landen and Ms. Parr put together the final draft. I just finished reading the report and believe it to be an accurate representation.

Thank you Marianne. The report itself was only prepared on Tuesday. I knew the language and read the draft. Though I had not seen the "official" final report, nor had any of us, until a few days ago. The final report was made available to Charter members whom attended the recent Council meeting the night of the presentation. I followed the link on this website and read it last night. I received it via email this morning. I had read previous drafts of the report and the legislation. It needed to be prepared and presented immediately if any of the recommendations were to make it to the voters in November.

BWA  HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!

Ms.Marianne is right on the money, as usual.
