Absent - 1 (Commissioner Schwartz). In response to Commissioner Foreman's inquiry about drafting the report, the Interim City Attorney stated amending Attachment B of his analysis would be the easiest. Commissioner Dieter stated that she has two amendments to propose; inquired whether it was important to treat the decision like a legal opinion. The Interim City Attorney responded he followed the format the Commission has used before; stated the Commission could do something different. Commissioner Dieter stated if the format is maintained, the entire paragraph on page 8 that starts with "Turning now to the question.. through the three provisions, should be deleted. In response to the Interim City Attorney's inquiry about what to do on the next page if the paragraph is deleted, Commissioner Dieter stated the third sentence stating "In order to carry out the decision could be deleted. Chair Little clarified that if the paragraph and three provisions on page 8 are deleted, along with the third sentence on page 9, the Commission would end up with the same decision made on November 14th Commissioner Dieter concurred with Chair Little. Commissioner Foreman stated the Commission has to state the direction; suggested the sentence to read, "In order to carry out the decision, the Commission directs that the ordinances passed on October 16, 2018 are hereby null and void and that "the City Council may re-introduce the two ordinances following a properly noticed public hearing.. " Commissioner Henneberry suggested allowing the City Council to do whatever they need to do; the complaint was sustained, the Council should re-notice and re-hear the ordinances. Chair Little stated that she does not want to allow room for the Council to make the decision; the Commission should make it clear that the Council must to re-notice and re- introduce the ordinances. Commissioner Henneberry inquired whether that direction was already in the original message to Council, to which Chair Little responded in the affirmative. Commissioner Henneberry stated instead of rewriting the language, the Commission should just append what the decision was to the end of the report.
