Approval of Minutes: May 24, 2010 -All ayes.
Item A: Ward Re-districting: At the May 24th committee meeting, Chairman Bennett requested Alderman to send possible options for re-structuring of the Wards to the Director of Finance or the City Manager. No recommendations were submitted prior to this meeting, so Chairman Bennett opened the floor for ideas. After 30 minutes of discussion, there was little interest in changing the current format of 7 wards with 2 aldermen per ward. The only other structure discussed was reducing the number of wards to 5, but maintaining 2 aldermen per ward. No one present wanted to
champion a new configuration but the consensus was that all alderman should be given a opportunity to comment, therefore; the Director of Finance was directed to poll current council members for their opinions regarding changing the council’s structure from 14 alderman split between seven wards to 10 alderman split between 5 wards. Results of the poll will be presented at the next Finance and Admin. Committee meeting on July 26th.
Director of Finance recommended that additional time be allocated for the next meeting due to the topics that need to be discussed. All agreed, therefore; the July 26, 2010 Finance and Admin. Committee meeting will begin at 5:00pm instead of 5:30pm.
ADJOURNMENT: 6:00 p.m. PREPARED BY: Dean Rich
