326 Special Council Meeting 8/28/95 Page 2 Mayor Rinker clarified we are not incorporating the language he read second--he wants everyone to understand we are sticking with what he initially read which is the total of 8 appointed by the Mayor and each Council member, so there is no substantive change to Article XI. The next portion, which was subject to discussion at the workshop, said "... shall have a review session with the NYayor and Council and then recommend to the voters [not to Council] such amendments, if any, to this Charter, as in its judgment are desirable. (It deletes the two thirds vote of the members) but says, "The Council shall [it is a direction to Council] to the electors not later than the next succeeding general election any such proposed amendments." Mayor Rinker said it goes on, "A complete text of all proposed amendments submitted to the electors shall be delivered to the residents of the Village. However, random failure of such delivery will not cause invalidation of any amendment by the voters." It was the desire of the Commission to make sure that the full text for any of these changes would be mailed out to voters so that they have the benefit of review ahead of time. He said we want to be sure the focus of the language is not dealing with the manner of appointment of the Commission members, it was really the manner in which Council would interact with the Commission and there was a direction that this would be submitted to voters. Miss Heath asked if a motion to amend the ordinance was necessary. Council President Fixler stated he does not think they do since it was just an error and not a situation of actually changing it. It was already on the record of the last Charter Review. Mayor Rinker said the Clerk of Council, who is also serving as Clerk of the Commission, will make sure that clerical mistake is addressed. Miss Heath confirmed that she and Mr. Hanculak will let Mr. Diemert know [to correct the legislation.] Roll Call: AYES: All NAYS: None Motion Carried Ordinance Enacted First Reading of Ordinance No. 95-58 entitled; "An ordinance proposing an amendment to Article III, Section 4 of the Charter of Mayfield Village pertaining to Council qualifications." Introduced by Council as a Whole. Mr. Basile, seconded by Mr. Ferrante, made a motion to suspend the rules of Council requiring an ordinance to be read on three separate occasions. I ' ? ?
