Regular Council Meeting Minutes <br />8-16-10 <br />Page 9 <br />paranoid about it. I look at it as that the focus really is on the substantive issue and we have always <br />tried to make sure that when we're dealing with zoning questions, this administration, and we've <br />endeavored to work with the Council on the issue, we've tried to make sure that people understand <br />what hangs in the balance and I think our track record shows that. <br />Council President Buckholtz was called out to the meeting due to a personal family matter he has to <br />attend to. Council President Buckholtz asked that if he is not here to vote the Charter amendments to <br />the Board of Elections, do we have enough people? <br />Mr. Diemert replied, it is Third Reading, so we do. <br />Council President Buckholtz apologized to everyone, but he has to leave. He has a family <br />emergency. Council President Buckholtz advised that Council President Pro Tem Marrie will take <br />over the meeting. <br />Jean Triner <br />829 Hanover <br />First of all, thanks for letting us have the meeting last week and thanks very much for getting the <br />Minutes from all of the 2010 Caucus and Council meetings up on the website very quickly after we <br />brought it to your attention. That was very helpful. <br />I think part of what you're hearing tonight is because you were very good. You restrained yourself <br />by not replying too much at the Town Ha11 meeting and so we didn't really get to hear from you. So I <br />think that's part of the reason that we're taking this opportunity and we appreciate the opportunity. <br />Just a couple things. I am under the impression that the Minutes from the Charter Review <br />Committee are not posted, but maybe I'm wrong. Are they posted on the website from the Charter <br />Review Committee? <br />Mrs. Betsa confirmed that they are. <br />Mrs. Triner continued, okay, good. That's very helpful. I didn't hear what Linda heard, but I heard a <br />variation that there were a number of people on that committee who were sick and not able to make a <br />lot of the meetings, so, but I had the understanding they did show up to vote. Hopefully they <br />understood what they were voting for. <br />Mayor Rinker replied, I do believe that if you go back through at least the few copies I have, <br />typically there were 5-6 people, if there was one, maybe two absent. The meeting I attended, <br />everyone was present. There were 7 people there. So, the impression I have had is that it was always <br />well attended. <br />? <br />?
