OpenGovernmentCommission | 2016-02-01 | 13 | The Commission agreed to wait until October. The Assistant City Attorney stated if the report is prepared earlier and ready to go, a meeting could take place after being noticing. Acting Chair Foreman stated the Chair could be addressed then too. COMMISSIONER COMMUNICATIONS Commissioner Dieter stated part of the Commission's responsibility is to review public notices to confirm that they conform to the requirements of the Sunshine Ordinance and to work to improve public accessible information. The Assistant City Attorney stated the gist is to ensure that public notices adequately communicate what is being considered; a person off the street who may not otherwise be interested should be able to understand the agenda. Acting Chair Foreman inquired what should be done if something on an agenda is ambiguous. The City Clerk responded a Commissioner can let her know; stated summary titles have been added as a result of people pointing out ambiguity at a past Open Government Commission meeting; a summary title is used when a title seems legalistic and lengthy, including multiple resolutions or actions; the summary title is in plain English; staff has been very careful and diligent with titles. Acting Chair Foreman stated people can get detail of by clicking on the number to the left online; perhaps stock language should be added to the agenda item providing instruction on how to locate details. The City Clerk stated instructions are available in a separate document online. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Acting Chair Foreman adjourned the meeting at 8:26 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Lara Weisiger City Clerk The agenda for this meeting was posted in accordance with the Sunshine Ordinance.
