OpenGovernmentCommission | 2015-02-02 | 2 | Commissioner Aguilar and Foreman both responded that they are interested. Commissioner Dieter stated that she would be fine with being the Vice Chair.

Commissioner Dieter moved approval of selecting Commissioner Foreman as the Vice Chair since he was appointed by the Mayor. Commissioner Tuozon seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. 3-B. Approve the October 7, 2013 and the October 6, 2014 Meeting Minutes The City Clerk noted that she asked Commissioners to view videos in order to weigh in [on the minutes] since there was change in the majority [of the Commission membership]; stated hopefully, at least three members are prepared to vote on the minutes. Vice Chair Foreman inquired whether everyone read the minutes and watched the video, to which the Commissioners responded in the affirmative. Commissioner Dieter stated that she finds it disturbing for the Open Government Commission that one of the meetings was two years old; the Commission should not let that happen; that she hopes this Commission tries to approve the minutes at the consecutive meeting immediately following; plus, if it is close to an election cycle, she would not mind having a special meeting just to approve the minutes so that the next Commissioners that take our place are not faced with trying to understand the intent behind other people and what they were saying to approve the minutes. The City Clerk stated unfortunately the meeting last February ended up being canceled due to lack of a quorum; for the October meeting, two members ended up being absent and Commissioner Tuazon was new; staff did not anticipate that [absences] and did not request members to view [the video] ahead of time; apologized for the circumstance; stated that she appreciated the suggestion to hold a special meeting to approve the minutes in the future. Commissioner Dieter stated that she has changes according the video she watched; she would like the minutes to reflect who the members were in terms of the City Clerk and Assistant City Attorney so the Commission would know the names of who was Meeting of the Open Government Commission February 2, 2015 2 | OpenGovernmentCommission/2015-02-02.pdf |
