Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, August 17, 2015 Page 8 Mayor Rinker stated, that's the whole idea of the Charter Review Commission. There's a period that this Commission goes through this process. As Mr. Saponaro pointed out, all of these Minutes are posted. The public is given an opportunity if they so choose. You are allowed to attend the meetings. The meetings are noticed. Every public meeting in this coimnunity is run like this one that people can attend. It's not taking it away. What I have tried to explain is historically there have been a lot of decisions and I would bet very few people have a clue of the kinds of decisions Planning and Zoning is snaking. The officials have wrestled with how better to manage the process. It's an effort to improve things. It's not taking away. Council President Marrie asked, are there any other questions or commments relative to this item? There were none. Council President Marrie asked, are there any other questions or comments regarding any other matters? There were none.

COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL PRESIDENT MARRIE Council President Marrie wanted to sincerely thank the Charter Review Commission for their time. I know how much time it takes because I served on one many years ago. I appreciate all of the time and effort that the Commission put into it. As Joe said, if you looked at the Minutes, you would find out it was a lot of time and a lot of effort. The second thing is, Rick, I would like to apologize to you and to all others who did not receive the notice in time. I am not sure what happened but you have my sincere apology on that. I think we all try to get it out in time.
