REPORTS Mayor Boyle: 1) A Charter Review Commission will be established this year. The commission will consist of nine qualified electors holding no other office or appointment in the city. The Mayor hopes to appoint individuals who are non-politically motivated, who represent all four Wards and who reflect the divergent aspects of the city's population. Recommendations from Council and citizens are welcome. The commission will have nine calendar months to formulate and recommend alterations, revisions or amendments to the City Charter. These changes will then be put into legislative form and presented to the voters for consideration. 2) There are a few openings on boards and commissions, and the Mayor will endeavor to fill these positions so that all Wards are represented. For example, with the expiration of Mr. Orlowski's term on the Planning Commission, there is no representative from Ward N to that body. Recommendations are welcome. 3) On Monday, January 9, the first D.A.RE. class from Pine Elementary School was graduated. The fifth grade students completed a 17-week course conducted by Officer Glen Adamson. On Tuesday and Wednesday, classes from Spruce School, Maple School, and St. Richard's School were also graduated. Comments from students and parents indicate that the program is successful. Officer Adamson will conduct classes in the four y~ remaining elementary schools during the second 17-week school session.
