Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Rayor, moved to direct the City Manager to investigate any mechanisms to reduce harm to the community related to Ballot Measure 7 and report regularly on the investigation to the City Council. Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 7:0. Mayor Torrey adjourned the regular session of the City Council and convened a work session of the City Council in the McNutt Room. Councilor Meisner left the meeting. At this point in the meeting, Mayor Torrey asked the council to move forward with recommendations on the Charter Review Committee. Councilor Kelly remarked that he was confused by the voting procedure and numerical ranking for appointments to boards and committees. Councilor Kelly, seconded by Councilor Rayor, moved to go back to the procedure that had been used before which was to mark "interview" or "appoint" or nothing next to a candidate's name. In response to a question from Councilor Pap~ regarding the process for nominations, Mayor Torrey said that each councilor would get to choose two nominees to the committee. City Manager Johnson added that the names would then come before the full council for a vote on appointment. Councilor Pap~, seconded by Councilor Rayor, moved to amend the motion by providing an interview for all 16 candidates. Councilor Kelly was against the motion because it could already be accomplished by ballots. Councilor Bettman was against the motion for the same reason. In response to a question from Councilor Kelly regarding a timeline for the charter committee, Ms. Walston said that the council had adopted a timeline to appoint members by December 15. She added that the motion stated that the process may included interviews. Councilor Kelly pointed out that, for the amendment to work, an extension of the timeline would have to be added. Councilor Bettman commented that changing the timeline might impact the applicants. Councilor Pap~ offered a friendly amendment, that was accepted by the second, to extend the timeline for appointments until January, 2001.
