OpenGovernmentCommission | 2015-02-02 | 5 | Commissioner Dieter inquired whether no one else had any suggested changes [to the October 7, 2013 minutes], to which Chair Aguilar responded in the negative. Commissioner Dieter stated in the next one [the October 6, 2014 minutes] on page 5 under 3-B [Consider potential revisions to the City's Sunshine Ordinance], the paragraph says: "Commissioner Spanier stated that potential revisions seemed to be housekeeping; suggested the Commission review the list and decide about controversial items;" actually, what Commission Spanier said was: "to table controversial items for the next Commissioners;' delete the words "decide about" and make it "table;" down a couple of paragraphs it says: "The Interim Assistant City Attorney gave a brief presentation;" again it does not say what the presentation was; she suggests adding a few words to explain what that [the presentation] was: "gave a brief presentation about some housekeeping and substantive changes to the Sunshine Ordinance were needed and to ask for direction to send to the City Council;" down near the bottom of the page it says: "The Interim Assistant City Attorney responded the matter could be clarified;" that she thinks the Commission needs to clarify that sentence and add to the end of it: "to include advisory committee or advisory body;" stated that she is not trying to be petty; she is just trying to shed some sunshine on the minutes for the public; she thinks it is really important for this body to lead by example; the next to the last paragraph "and not noticed" could include: "does not require an agenda;' that she is going to let a few things go; on the top of page 7 the last part of the end of the second paragraph, she thinks what needs to be added is: "the City Clerk said the only future references to the advisory committee were on pages 4 and 5, so it would be easy to correct;" longer [farther] down under Item 3 it says: "The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated the language should remain;" it is unclear about what language; that she watched the video about three times and could not quite figure that [statement] out; but what happened before that [statement] was [former Chair] Cambra talked about an example from his previous work when he worked for another city where he was once called into a closed session to later give legal advice to an advisory committee; "Chair Cambra provided an example from his previous work at a city" does not tell the public any context; she thought it might be important to add that: "where he was once called into a closed session to later give legal advice to an advisory committee;" she is willing to let this [language which reads: "The Interim Assistant City Attorney stated the language should remain"] stand for the ease of reference for the Commission; the Commission can still approve it [the October 6, 2014 minutes] even though it is unclear to her; it is fine, but she wanted to at least add why [former Chair] Cambra provided that example; otherwise just delete the entire thing altogether; on page 8, the first sentence needs to continue so that it is clear to the public what was actually decided upon; it ends by saying: "noted the member could request the item be continued to another date;" then, what should be added is: "if you are not present and have not requested a teleconference, written comments are not entered into the record;" that is what was decided but it was omitted from the minutes; down under Item 6, it says: "The City Clerk provided background;" it does not say what background; for the purpose of making it easy on the public, she would like to add: "in regards to length of time audio recordings must be retained; and that we have the capacity so that we keep everything and starting in [August] 2006, everything has been posted online;" that [statement] was the Meeting of the Open Government Commission February 2, 2015 5 | OpenGovernmentCommission/2015-02-02.pdf |
