Minutes`of the.Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, January 23; 2017 <br />Page 19 ' <br />of govenunent rules to let Council, I myself, read in private, read this thing;. three times and <br />cause it to become a part of the Charter: <br />Council Presiderit Saponaro stated, it wouldn't be in private. <br />Mr. Alberry asked, this Charter amendment that you are•falking about? <br />Council President Saponaro stated, no, The charter aineridment is not read for council. It goes to <br />the vote of the people. There's a Charter amendment. Any Charter ameridment goes to the <br />people for the vote. What you are talking about was you are talking about any ordinance. Any <br />ordinance does go through Council. It goes through the process and has to be read, not in <br />private. It's read to the public. <br />Mr. Alberry stated, there's a mechanism being used to, permit Council to vote on this and cause it <br />to become a rule. <br />Council President Saponaro replied, all it ever was was a discussion on it generally. No one was <br />committing that this was the right or wrong way. That's why we wanted to go through the <br />vetting process. <br />Mr. Alberry asked, okay, you haven't done that yet? <br />Council President Saponaro replied, no. January 9th, all we did was we had the first discussion <br />on it. There was nothing more that was done on it. <br />Mr. Alberry stated, at the March meeting you come back? <br />Council President Saponaro stated, whoever put that out there was saying the March meeting. <br />Basically, if we decide, when you are done we have to go to two other things and then we are <br />going to put this out there. If Council decides we are going to kill this, because that is what we <br />are hearing everyone say we should do, there's no other time to come back. It's dead. It's done <br />then. The only time that it would ever be on the agenda is if it was going to be approved. You <br />will see other things that are ordinances that have gone through the process, committees, and <br />they want to be approved. <br />Mr. Alberry stated; okay, because I did not completely understand that, let me continue to make <br />the point I am making. As suggested, Council would become a full-time employee and they <br />would have some,healthcare taken care of and some amount of money whatever that turned out <br />to be, so now, I as a Council person have a health event and it has to be paid for by insurance and <br />I have two because I have my self-employment or my employers and then I have one from the <br />Village. So, one of them has to be primary. If I was a Councilperson and wanted to take care of <br />myself, I would dump the insurance that I am buying and let the taxpayers pay for my insurance <br />because you can only file one of those, so I am going to file the free one.
