Louisville City Council Meeting <br />October 5, 2004 <br />Page 7 of 9 <br /> <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS <br /> <br />Council member Brown asked if a public member could not attend a seminar once every <br />two years, would they be removed from their office. City Attorney Light stated he did <br />not interpret the Charter amendment to require removal for non-attendance. He noted the <br />Charter does provide for violations being subject to the general penalties. <br /> <br />Council member Brown addressed the charter amendments requirement of a plan and <br />stated if a plan is proposed it should be implemented. <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk asked City Clerk Nancy Varra to estimate the election cost associated with <br />Ballot Issue 200. City Clerk Varra explained this is a polling place election, and the City <br />would be required to pay for their pro-rated share for the election, which would include <br />19 polling places, 6 judges per polling place, the printing cost of the ballots and sample <br />ballots, and wages/overtime wages for the Boulder County Clerk & Recorders Election <br />Staff. She estimated the City's pro-rated share for the election to be a minimum $15,000. <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk asked City Attorney Light if the charter amendments included a provision <br />that excludes attorney/client privilege. City Attorney Light stated the amendment would <br />add a new definition of communication file. The City Council and Planning Commission <br />would be required to maintain a communication file, and in that definition there is an <br />expressed exception of documents to be disclosed. There is no definition for exception to <br />agenda-related materials. <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk commented that he requested Staff to prepare a budget for the initiated <br />charter amendments. He stressed it is important for the citizens to know the cost of any <br />referred or initiated measure. He stated if the City is mandated to implement the <br />amendments other programs will suffer. He explained it is a matter of balancing the <br />budget. He voiced his respect for all the residents who offered comments with regards to <br />the City Manager's report on the estimated cost of Ballot Issue 200. <br /> <br />Council member Brown commented that a number of issues on the charter amendments <br />are very good and some that are problematic. He thanked Staff for the financial analysis. <br /> <br />Ty Gee, 253 Hoover Court, Louisville, CO addressed the charter amendment plan, and its <br />implementation. He agreed if a plan is formulated, it should be implemented. He <br />suggested a plan could present other options such as leasing in lieu of purchasing <br />equipment. The plan could explore sharing equipment and technology with other <br />communities. He stated the cost cannot be used to defeat the charter amendments. It <br />must be addressed on its merits. <br /> <br />Susan Morris, 939 W. Maple Court, Louisville, CO stated the charter amendments are a <br />result of the Council unwillingness to work with the citizens, and noted the citizens will <br />have an opportunity to decide for themselves. She stressed any dollars spent would be <br />well spent. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
