Charter Commission: Nita Ricca reported that the Charter Commission Committee had collected between 3500 and 4000 signatures of registered
voters, enough needed to get the question on the ballot. She also reported that the Committee is entering the next phase of the campaign--education of the voters. The civic associations need to be involved. Nita made a motion that the Civic Association donate $50.00 to the Charter Study Commission.
The motion passed.

Respectably submitted,
John M. Pelose
Acting Secretary
