***NEW BUSINESS*** <br /> <br />23. Communication from President Litten regarding recommendations to Charter Review <br />Commission. (pg. 91) <br /> <br />President Litten read from the communication regarding council salary recommendations for the <br />Charter Review Commission. He then made a motion to refer the communication to the Charter <br />Review Commission, seconded by Vice President Kepple. <br /> <br />In response to a question from Councilmember Shachner, President Litten confirmed that the <br />compensation for the President and Vice President of Council is that same as the rest of Council. <br /> <br />Vice President Kepple cited a report about how there are fewer women in elected positions in <br />Ohio than in other states. She explained part of that is because most women start with local <br />positions such as council and school boards, and those positions tend to be paid at part-time rates <br />even though the time commitment is more extensive. This structure can be a hinderance for <br />women, minorities, and those with less affluence. She thanked President Litten for drawing <br />attention to the equity issue involved in the current salary structure for council members. <br /> <br />On the motion: All in favor, motion passed. <br /> <br />th <br />24. Communication from Councilmember Marx regarding Studio West 117 revised ARPA <br />application. (pg. 95) <br /> <br />Councilmember Marx read the communication and requested that the communication be referred <br />to the Committee of the Whole. <br /> <br />Motion by President Litten, seconded by Vice President Kepple to refer the communication to <br />Committee of the Whole. <br /> <br />Councilmember Bullock stated if the intention is to have this matter decided upon before the end <br />of the year, then a Committee of the Whole meeting would need to be scheduled before the final <br />th <br />General Meeting of the year, on December 18. President Litten agreed and said the next agenda <br />items will probably also require adding a committee of the whole meeting before year end. <br /> <br />On the motion: All in favor, motion passed. <br /> <br />25. Communication from President Litten regarding proposed ARPA allocations. (pg. 96) <br /> <br />President Litten stated that before reading the communication, he wanted to first explain that he <br />will be making some amendments to the resolutions in question, in response to follow-up <br />conversations he has had with the administration. He said the nature of the amendments will be to <br />not specify that the City will be using ARPA funds, which will allow more flexibility if other <br />funds become available for the agreed upon projects. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
