Charter Commission Meeting on 11/24/2014

This was an interesting meeting from start to finish.  The Charter Commission has hired a lawyer (Allen Garner) and a major part of the meeting involved advise from Mr. Garner and his response to questions from the Commission.

Members present:  Janet Emerson, Lisa Emerson, Steve Guenther, Sandra Hartwell, Charlotte Melson, Mark Moore, Ted Bowman and Greg Walters.

Members absent:  Jim Aziere, , Susan Dolan, Jason Greene, Michael McDonough, and Mary Jane Van Buskirk.

Recording the meeting was more than the usual challenge. The meeting was held in the small adjoining room to the main chamber, due to remodeling. It was not possible to get the entire commission in the frame from one camera. There was not a break where batteries could be changed on the cameras, so the final few minutes were recorded with a phone camera.

The speaker after Alderman Ertz, was Michael Downing, editor/owner of RaytownOnline.com.
