The only action I can find is <br />on 11/8/99 - the Council approved videotaping at a cost of <br />approximately $150 per meeting. To date, the only expenses I recall: <br />Printing of original 3 ring binders for Charter Comm members (copies <br />also made for office,- Joel and Steve), a legal publication (date <br />uncertain. To my knowledge we have never charged the videotaping or <br />typing of minutes (approximately 1/2-1 hr each month). <br />Margaret <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: Joel J.

The law provides: <br />410.06. Compensation; expenses <br />The members of such commission shall receive no compensation, <br />but <br />the commission may employ an attorney and other personnel to assist in <br />framing such charter, and any amendment or revision thereof, and the <br />reasonable compensation and the cost of printing such charter, or any <br />amendment or revision thereof, when so directed by the commission, shall <br />be <br />paid by such city. The amount of reasonable and necessary charter <br />commission expenses that shall be so paid by the city shall not exceed <br />in <br />any one year the sum of $10,000 for a first class city and $1,500 for <br />any <br />other city; but the council may authorize such additional charter <br />commission expenses as it deems necessary. Other statutory and charter <br />provisions requiring budgeting of, or limiting, expenditures do not <br />apply to <br />charter commission expenses. The council may levy a tax in excess of <br />charter tax limitations to pay such expenses. <br />1 <br />
