Information Officer would be involved in the preparation of those materials. She said that in past <br />years she would have recommended a citizen advisory committee to overview the ballot <br />materials. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman supported the motion, and shared Ms. Taylor's interest in putting all the items on a <br />single ballot. <br /> <br />Mr. Kelly endorsed the procedural suggestions offered by other councilors. He said that <br />Springfield recently adopted a new charter and suggested it might be worth examining what <br />Springfield did to explain its charter changes to the voters. <br /> <br /> The motion passed unanimously, 5:0. <br /> <br />Ms. Walston solicited other items for further staff follow-up. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman had two issues for follow-up for possible inclusion in the charter: 1) enabling <br />language for a living wage ordinance; and 2) organizationwide "whistle blower" protection. <br /> <br />Mr. Meisner objected to discussing the living wage for inclusion in the charter given the council <br />had not discussed the issue yet and reached mutual agreement on the topic. <br /> <br />Ms. Taylor liked both Ms. Bettman's suggestions. <br /> <br />Ms. Nathanson did not want to direct staff to do further work without the expressed majority <br />support of the council. She asked if the work session was an opportunity to solicit follow-up work <br />from staff. Ms. Walston said yes. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />James R.
