OpenGovernmentCommission | 2015-02-02 | 30 | Vice Chair Foreman provided an example: recommend to Council under that the Commission's jurisdiction should be expanded; stated the Commission is called Open Government but the actual grant of authority is Sunshine Ordinance; other aspects of the law pertain to open government and the Commission's role should be expanded. The City Clerk stated the Commissioners need to provide the item greater than the seven days ahead of [publication] time; that she would indicate that it is coming from the Commissioner so the other Commissioners understand it is not staff generated. Commissioner Dieter stated it is a little bit more free flowing than the City Council, to which the City Clerk responded the City Council has an extensive Council referral process but the Commission does not have that. Commissioner Dieter inquired when Commissioners have referrals, should it have a staff report. The City Clerk responded typically, staff would want to wait to get direction from the whole Commission before putting too much work into the matter; if the rest of the Commission does not agree with going in that direction; stated it is easier for staff to get direction from the whole Commission. The Assistant City Attorney stated it is similar to a referral; if a Commissioners wants to bring something forward, they would communicate it to the City Clerk; it would then appear under Commissioner Communications; the Commission would have a chance to talk about it because it would be noticed; then if there is support to bring something back, staff would do it; if there is not support, it does not go anywhere. COMMISSIONER COMMUNICATIONS None. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Chair Aguilar adjourned the meeting at 9:25 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Lara Weisiger City Clerk The agenda for this meeting was posted in accordance with the Sunshine Ordinance.
