ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE There were no oral communications at this time. MINUTES Motion was made by Member Brewton and seconded by Member Higgins to approve the Minutes of May 27, 2004, as presented, and amending page CRC-55 Minutes to read "Motion was made by Member Barry Johnson and seconded to approve the Minutes of April 22, 2004,.." and page CRC-58 to delete the final two sentences of the second paragraph. Motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION AND DELIBERATION Chair Haley favors reconsideration of the Mayoral election in even-numbered years at a later meeting when as many Committee members as possible can be present. Member McQuern noted that all votes are tentative and subject to finalization prior to recommendation to the City Council. Member Brewton feels that issue is closed. Member Gamia recalled that Committee votes are tentative and all will be revisited. It would be appropriate for a person who voted in the majority to forward a motion to reconsider the issue at a future meeting. Chair Haley does not expect to revisit issues that were unanimously carried. Member Castillo concurs that the matrix contains substantive issues that received preliminary votes and supports continuing that process.
