OpenGovernmentCommission | 2014-10-06 | 2 | Chair Cambra inquired whether the numbering has been corrected, to which the City Clerk responded in the affirmative. Chair Cambra suggested each item in the staff report be addressed individually; noted Section 2-91.1.d defines policy body, but policy body is referred to before the definition. The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated clarification could be done. In response to Chair Cambra's inquiry regarding Section 2-91.1.c. defining occasion, the City Clerk stated the definition is to address what is not a meeting. Chair Cambra stated "passive meeting body" should be a definition of the people that make up the body, not the event; suggested ceremonial occasions be addressed under the meeting section. The Interim Assistant City Attorney responded the matter could be clarified to include advisory committee or advisory body. The City Clerk stated the definition ties into Section 2-91.2; noted the definition attempts to capture what is noticed and not noticed, does not require an agenda. Chair Cambra stated the intent is understood, but the Section should be moved. The City Clerk stated Section 2-91.2 would also have to be revised; "passive meeting body" is social and does not require an agenda. The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated staff could work on the language; reviewed the first item in the staff report: use of electronic devices. In response to Commissioner Spanier's inquiry, the City Clerk stated the Council uses iPads to view the packet. Chair Cambra inquired whether a phone call could be made and whether the iPads have internet access, to which the City Clerk responded the iPads do have internet access and could be used to text or email. Chair Cambra inquired whether the internet access could be disabled. The City Clerk responded the packet is on the internet and one Councilmember uses a computer. Commissioner Tuazon inquired whether a phone call could be made, to which Chair Cambra responded the device could be used to email and text.
