Old/New Business:
A Special Board Meeting was called to confer with City Council Member
Dina Nguyen on an up coming proposal to change the City Charter.
We wanted to know the mechanics of how the change would occur and she
wanted a feel for our reaction to the proposal. The
proposal had been placed on the agenda for the 9-25-07 City Council
Meeting. If approved, the matter would be placed on the February
2008 Election Ballot. Besides the issue of the proposed
Charter, topics of discussion included, Districts, Term Limits and
Redevelopment. In addition, Dina Nguyen advised she would like to meet
with the CGGNA Board on a regular basis.
