The Board agreed to continue the item to the next meeting. 3. Brown Act Training: (Secretary Akil): Board Secretary Akil requested that the Commission was due for a formal Brown Act Training, following the appointments of the new members in June. Commissioner Kirola expressed some concern as to the restrictions of communication that would be placed upon the Commissioners from the training. Secretary Akil responded that the purpose of the training was not to eliminate communication between the Commissioners or any other personal matter, but rather is a necessary training that all City of Alameda Committees and Commissions must undergo to ensure compliance with the Brown Act. The Commissioners agreed and set July 23, 2007 as the training date, which will be conducted by the City Attorney. OLD BUSINESS: 1.
