was on the Council for two years and then ran and was elected to serve as Mayor, he or she could <br />conceivably be Mayor for six years if elected. City Manager Grayson Path explained that if a <br />sitting Council Member ran for Mayor that it would be an automatic resignation from the Council <br />seat. Mr. Path said the staff and Mr. Edmonds had conferred about this subject and felt this was <br />the fair way to handle it. He asked the commission members if they had any better ideas, to please <br />share those ideas because he did not want the City to get into a bad situation over elections. Mr. <br />Lindsey said he agreed, that staff had given a lot of thought to this and had come up with scenarios <br />that he never thought of. Mr. Path also said the mayor would be elected in odd number years, with <br />two-year terms and would serve not more than three consecutive two-year terms. <br />A Motion to approve the language for election of mayor at large was made by Chad Lindsey <br />and seconded by Taisley Scroggin. Motion carried, 10 ayes — 1 nay, with Kenneth Webb casting <br />the dissenting vote. <br />Mr. Edmonds asked if anyone had questions about Section 17. There being none, a Motion <br />to approve Section 17 as written was made by Reeves Hayter and seconded by Chad Lindsey. <br />Motion carried, 10 ayes — 1 nay, with Kenneth Webb casting the dissenting vote. <br />Mr. Edmonds asked if anyone had questions about Section 19. There being none, a Motion <br />to approve Section 19 was made by Chad Lindsey and seconded by Matt Coyle. Motion carried, <br />10 ayes — 1 nay, with Kenneth Webb casting the dissenting vote. <br />David House left the meeting at 6:00 p.m. <br />6. Consider amendatory language proposed by the Consultant in Articles XI and XII. <br />Mr. Edmonds said language in Article XI dated back to the 50's and it was necessary for <br />new language to be written so that it was more modern and understandable. Ms. Putnam and Mr. <br />Webb said they were good with the new language. Jessica Holtman said Section 122 Subsection <br />(9) should include the word "costs" after attorney's fees. <br />Subject to the recommended change, a Motion to approve this section was made by <br />Kenneth Webb and seconded by Taisley Scroggin. Motion carried, 10 ayes — 0 nays. <br />As to Section 142, there were no changes. A Motion to approve this section as written was <br />made by Jessica Holtman and seconded by Kenneth Webb. Motion carried, 10 ayes — 0 nays. <br />Next Mr. Edmonds referenced Section 151 and said that it did not make sense to have this <br />paragraph at the end of the Charter but should be moved to the beginning. He said it contained a <br />gender neutral clause and that the City Attorney would need to renumber the Charter. He said this <br />could be done by Ordinance with the City Council giving authority to the City Attorney to re- <br />number the Charter and making editing changes. Ms. Holtman suggested that Section 151 <br />subsection (3) have added "as appropriate" after "references to specific state statutes." It was a <br />consensus to make the change to subsection (3). <br />Subject to the recommended change, a Motion was made to approve this section was made <br />by Kenneth Webb and seconded by Stacy Ladell. Motion carried, 10 ayes — 0 nays. <br />2 <br />
