City Council Regular Meeting - 11/22/04 Minutes - Page 15 Mayor Klausing questioned City Attorney Squires as to process and timing for enactment of the proposed ordinance, and language revisions. Councilmember Ihlan opined that, in light of tonight's discussion, she would seek to incorporate several suggestions, and bring the ordinance back to the December 6, 2004 Regular Council meeting for action and appropriate publication time before the new calendar and election year. Mayor Klausing, with Councilmember Schroeder's concurrence, requested that the draft language be provided to the Council in a timely manner to allow their comment, as well as sufficient time for public review and comment. Councilmember Ihlan concurred with the need for timely presentation; noting her intent to bring forward a fairly simple ordinance related to candidates, not independent campaign committees or ballot questions, and would include a $100 disclosure limit for discussion purposes. Mayor Klausing directed staff to include this item on the December 6, 2004 regular Council agenda. 7.
