Commissioner Foreman inquired whether the rules include things such as a Councilmembers requesting comments to be put in the record. Vice Chair Little responded the suggestion is not to include anything. Chair Dieter stated the matter has nothing to do with the orderly conduct of meetings. In response to Commissioner Foreman's inquiry, Chair Dieter stated a statement that is read can be submitted to the City Clerk for the record. The City Clerk noted it never happens. Commissioner Foreman inquired why it should be eliminated. Chair Dieter stated the Commission needs to decide; she is hearing a consensus to omit it.

Commissioner Forman inquired where the language comes from, to which Chair Dieter responded Resolution 12567. Commissioner Schwartz moved approval of adopting the subcommittee's proposal with the amendments offered. Commissioner Henneberry seconded the motion.
