The City contracted with. Mr. Don Edmonds as a qualified consultant to guide the CRC and City <br />through the review process. Mr. Edmonds performed an excellent job in this task. He was very <br />thorough, timely and thoughtful as we worked through many various topics. He kept our efforts <br />focused and on task, providing a systematic process for reviewing the Charter in a timely manner. <br />He produced a tremendous amount of material in a short period of time. <br />We would also like to recognize and thank Tim DeGhelder, Library Director, and the Library Staff <br />for their hosting of the CRC meetings. The venue they prepared was very conducive to the needs <br />of the CRC. <br />All CRC meetings were open to the public. The Paris News attended at least two of these meetings. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: <br />After six (6) meetings, the CRC has completed their tasks as assigned in Ord. 2021-024 and has <br />produced the attached Final Report for the City Council to review. It is the City Council's duty to <br />now review their recommendations and decide which of these recommendations will in fact go <br />forward for inclusion in the May 2022 general election ballot. Only the electorate of the City of <br />Paris can amend the Charter, but the City Council determines which amendments will be <br />considered. The City Council can either accept all or none of their recommendations, they can <br />change their recommendations, and/or they can add additional amendments to the ballot. Due to <br />statutory requirements for placing items on the May 2022 ballot, the City Council will need to <br />make a decision no later than the January 24, 2022 city council meeting. It is higlily recommended <br />though that a decision take] lace by January 10.2022 to � e us enoug1i time to ,)ra aare the ballot <br />lang agewwwith legal counsel. The proposed ballot language must be written in final form, translated <br />into Spanish, and mailed to all registered voters, so time is needed for this effort as well. <br />Chairperson Alix Putnam will be providing the City Council with a brief presentation on behalf of <br />the CRC. Grayson Path will follow Ms. Putnam's presentation and discuss some of the contents <br />of this memo to assist with City Council discussion. Don Edmonds, Stephanie Harris and Janice <br />Ellis are present tonight to answer questions. <br />Please see the Final Report for extended details, but the following is pulling from the explanatory <br />notes in the Final Report with some added notes from the City Manager as needed. To emphasize <br />what is stated on p.3 of the Final Report, language in RED is to be deleted, language in .;. <br />is to be added, and language in BLACK is original that does not change. <br />1. Article I <br />a. No recommended edits. <br />
