SPI~CIAL MEETING ITEMS A. Heating in Accordance ~ittl Code of Ordinances Section 2-172 Regarding Consideration of Board Member Removal {Hearing Letters, Section 2-172, Applj.9.~tj0n.,l Jerry Smith, 9406 126th Avenue, Fellsmere, stated he had requested this heating to resolve the allegation that he wrongly filled out his Construction Board application relative to the question "Have you ever been convicted of any felony or any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude in this or any state?" He said he understood the question to ask whether had he been convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude and he had answered it honestly as he understood it. He noted that his application to the City for his contractor test for tile and marble indicates that he stated he had been convicted of a felony. He submitted a copy of that application to the City Attomey (see attached). The Acting City Attorney said there is nothing in the city codes or state statutes to provide for removal of a member with a prior felony conviction, thus this could be only removal without cause. He discussed the legal intent of the question, however, agreed that the question would be confusing to the layperson and should be separated into two questions. MOTION by Sullivan/Cartwright I would like to make a motion fight now that the application be changed so that question 18 be separated into two separate questions. VOICE VOTE on the motion carded 5-0. MOTION by Neuberger/Sullivan I'd like to make a motion to take no further action. VOICE VOTE on the motion carried 5-0. 5.

WORKSHOP ITEMS 98.155 A. P~yi, ew Proposed Language for Charter Amendment for Charter Review_12~alrtlJLte¢ and Proced~e (Proposed Language, Current City Charter) It was the consensus of City Council to allow public input after Council discussion. The Acting City Attorney read the proposed charter amendment language as submitted in the agenda packet. Following a lengthy discussion, it was the consensus of Council to amend the language as follows, and direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance for a charter amendment to be placed on the ballot for March 1999. "Not later that April 12 of the year 1999 and every seven years thereafter, the City Council shall appoint a Charter Review Committee to review the Charter of the City. Each Charter Review Committee shall consist of fifteen residents of the City. The committee shall otherwise be appointed in the manner provided by taw the Code of Ordinances. The committee shall be funded by the City Council and shall be known as the "City of Sebastian Charter Review Committee." It shall, within six months from the date of its formation, present to the City Council its final recommendations for amendment of the Charter or its recommendation that no amendment is appropriate. If amendment is to be recommended, the Charter Review Committee shall conduct two public heatings, at intervals of not less than fourteen days, prior to the transmittal of its recommendations to the City Council. The City Council may by ordinance submit any or all of the recommended amendments to the electors for vote at the next general election held within the city or at a special election called for such purpose." Discussion took place on adoption of another ordinance to be effective upon approval of the charter amendment by the city's electors, which would set out appointment procedures for the Charter Review Committee. 5.
