AGENDA ITEMS 3-A. Review the Rules of Order for City Council Agendas and Meetings Chair Dieter made brief introductory comments and provided background information. In response to Chair Dieter's inquiry, the City Clerk agreed that staff would not provide a report and would raise questions as the Commission reviews the subcommittees proposed recommendations. Commissioner Foreman stated the subcommittee is proposing the current rules be repealed, and Rosenberg's Rules of Order be adopted along with special rules; inquired whether or not the subcommittee went through each individual section of the current rules. Chair Dieter responded the subcommittee went through all the resolutions and pulled out all of the existing rules and reworded them, which are the nine special rules; stated the subcommittee tabled two rules; if Commissioner Foreman found something that the subcommittee forgot, the Commission can address it. Commissioner Foreman stated Council's charge was to review and update the rules; instead, it looks like the Commission is writing its own set of rules without specific reference to the existing rules; for instance, there are six different items under public discussion under the old rules; under the supplemental rules, there are a lot less; the same thing for Council deliberations; he has a problem with the structure; he anticipated the subcommittee would be going through each of the existing sections. Chair Dieter stated a lot of the existing rules are already in Rosenberg's Rules of Order; the subcommittee did not want to duplicate the rule. Vice Chair Little stated one of the subcommittee tasks was to go through the existing rules; she did a line by line comparison of the five different versions of the current rules Meeting of the Open Government Commission 1 March 5, 2018 | OpenGovernmentCommission/2018-03-05.pdf |
