	From: Steve Rideout [mailto:swrideout@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, November 6, 2014 8:18 AM Subject: City Manager Matters - 1st reading of the City Manager Charter Proposals Dear Group: This coming Monday, November 10th at 7:00 p.m. at the COUNTY BOARD  meeting room (enter from the rear of the county building), our City Commissioners will take up the first reading of the proposed charter with some modifications that we developed based on public comment at the public hearing in early October and one written detailed list of concerns filed by a citizen. I am attaching to this email the responses that we developed to the concerns raised in the written response. I am also attaching the final proposed version of the City Manager Charter 3-39 that shows what we changed and did not change from the one previously submitted. The written response that had some detail appears to seek to gut the original proposal. The attached response tries to explain the reasoning behind each section and why it was written in the way that it was. I hope that these are helpful. Having you at this meeting will be helpful to this effort. Each time there is a meeting on the topic of the city manager it seems that something new pops up, so having supporters there is always helpful. Thanks for your continued support.
