CityCouncil | 2019-03-16 | 16 | City Council Workshop City Council Workshop Report Management Partners How to communicate agendas and memos to the City Attorney and vice versa. A subcommittee can work with the City Attorney to bring ideas back to Council. What should be the process in flagging issues? How do we work with staff regarding agendas? Need to standardize agenda format Maintain focus on compliance and transparency Have City Attorney focus on best practices; need clarity regarding who to process, oversee and approve the agenda (all agendas) - someone to be in charge Have a discussion about social media and understand how it can lead to Brown Act violations If we use a subcommittee, what is their role and when will Council weigh in? Provide proper public notices and how they should be titled. The cannabis notice was pulled because it wasn't noticed properly. Have a meeting with Open Government Commission (OGC) about what they need clarity on before the workshop with the City Attorney. What is their role? OGC was in violation of how they notice. Consider focusing on best practices, such as: Jurisdiction of OGC Process Make agendas comply with requirements When OGC and City Attorney disagree, what happens? Considering inviting OGC to the workshop? Have City Attorney review the Brown Act (refresher) Adding Commissions/Strategies for Increased Community Engagement Council member Daysog referred a discussion about the potential for adding two commissions to this workshop. He framed this interest within the priority area of building community trust (see Table 7) and increasing public engagement, and Council members agreed to allocate time to discuss it. Below are notes from the discussion. Council member Daysog introduced the idea of considering two new commissions (Finance and Infrastructure) to, in part, address concerns about streets and sidewalks. The intention is to engage more community members and ensure Council is fully informed before taking action. 12 | CityCouncil/2019-03-16.pdf |
