OpenGovernmentCommission | 2014-10-06 | 7 | The City Clerk noted "four years" could should be removed because the documents listed would always be posted on the website. The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated Item 13 is regarding expressing personal opinions while not on duty; that he was not sure if the item was of concern when the ordinance was drafted; provided an example of union members on duty being given leave to participate in collective bargaining. Chair Cambra stated that he thought the requirement applies to employees on a break, for example. The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated the Section has not been an issue and could be left alone. Commissioner Spanier provided an example of working for a corporation not releasing information to the media. The Interim Assistant City Attorney outlined public interest versus complaining about the work environment. The Commission concurred with leaving the Section as is. The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated Item 14 language could be easily cleaned up. The Commission concurred. The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated Item 15 on Environmental Impact Reports (EIR) could be moved to another Section of the Ordinance. Chair Cambra stated that he was not sure whether the requirement was to allow access to the document or to allow people to save on copy costs. The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated most EIRs are posted on the City's website; that he could review the matter and determine if it should be moved. The City Clerk noted the language could be moved to Section 2-94.2. The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated Item 16 stated Section 2-92.15 should be moved to Section 2-92.2. The Commission concurred. The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated Item 17 would change requiring the training to every three years instead of every year; the training is videotaped; new employees can watch the video; absent major revisions to the ordinance, training could be done every three years.
