CityCouncil | 2007-08-21 | 15 | Councilmember deHaan inquired what other delegations would be participating, to which Mr. Chen responded he would provide a list. The Community Development Program Manager stated the recommendation is to accept the invitation and allow the SSHRB to determine the official delegation and permit the SSHRB to finalize the trip details. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of accepting the invitation and authorizing the SSHRB to determine the delegation. Vice Mayor Tam seconded the motion. Under discussion, Vice Mayor Tam inquired whether Council needs to accept the invitation to exempt the cost of the trip from being subject to disclosure under the Fair Political Practices Commission. The City Attorney responded in the affirmative; stated some of the trip related costs are being funded by the Wuxi government ; attendees would not need to claim the trip costs on the Form 700 as long as Council takes an official action to accept the invitation and takes some action to identify who would attend. On the call for the question, the motion carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA None.
