OpenGovernmentCommission | 2015-02-02 | 24 | The City Clerk stated by majority [Council] vote. Vice Chair Foreman stated his compromise would be to leave in the first part and leave out the last part; the particular sentence is not sunshine and has to do with when you can and cannot remove a member from a body. The City Clerk stated the Section was added to inform a member of a body; since sunshine is about providing information, the Attorney's idea is to put more information out there and inform them if they have not read the other provisions that they could be taken off because they might not be aware. Vice Chair Foreman stated inform them in the right section of the law; inquired why it would it be here. The City Clerk responded every board and commission member is required to read the ordinance; they are not required to read the other sections of the law; they are all annually required to read it. The Assistant City Attorney stated that he would redraft and bring back some language that might be more acceptable to the Commission. Commissioner Dieter stated out of all of the Sections, this is the one that is being tabled all together; there is a problem with it. The Assistant City Attorney stated Section 9 the first sentence under 2-92.2 has been moved to the front of the ordinance; in October, the Commission talked about the fact that sometimes the 10 day rule could not always be met and that there are circumstances when additional time is needed; he pulled the language out of the Public Records Act and put it into Subsection C to allow additional time for the custodian of records to respond as long as they gave the reasons for the extensions and the date on which the determination was supposed to be provided. Commissioner Dieter inquired whether there was a typo with the part that was added in Section D should it say employee "or" elected official rather than "of," to which the Assistant City Attorney responded in the affirmative. The Assistant City Attorney stated the new Subsection G has been moved up from a different Section; Section 10 on Responsibilities of the Mayor, has been moved to a different section in the front; Section 11 explains what is going to be available on the City's website for a certain period of time and what would be on essentially forever. Commissioner Dieter stated she had a hard time understanding the additions to Section 2-92.4: documents must be posted on the City's website, but these particular documents may be removed.
