2005 CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE

The 2005 Charter Review Committee met on October 20, 2005, at 7:00 p.m. with Chairman Leary presiding. Members present were Mr. Christiansen, Mrs. Greenwood, Mr. Jones, Mrs. Malone, Dr. Miller, and Mr. Scheller. Mr. Merritt was absent. Councilman Ruane and Mrs. McDowell were also present.

AGENDA ADDITIONS/DELETIONS

Mr. Scheller moved for approval of the agenda, seconded by Mr. Christiansen and unanimously carried.

Discussion - Review of City Charter

Members reviewed a Comparative Table of the City of Dover Charter and the Model City Charter and made preliminary decisions to either retain items for the Proposed City Charter, delete items from the Proposed Charter, or move to the City of Dover Code (Attachment #1).

It was the consensus of members that at their next meeting, scheduled for November 17, 2005 at 7:00 p.m., they would use the Model City Charter as their framework and incorporate those sections of the City of Dover Charter that they feel should be retained.

Adjournment

Mr. Jones moved for adjournment, seconded by Mr. Christiansen and unanimously carried.

Meeting Adjourned at 8:40 P.M

Respectfully submitted,

Thomas J. Leary, Chairman
