OpenGovernmentCommission | 2020-12-14 | 3 | be voted on tonight would have the Commission refer back to the Council a matter which was not properly noticed to cure and correct the improper notice and for the City Council to reject the Commission's recommendation to cure and correct, it would require a four- fifths supermajority. Chair Tilos stated Commissioner Schwartz's synopsis sums up what the Commission has been dealing with for two years. Commissioner Shabazz stated some of the proposed language refers to the City Council, inquired whether the cure and correct applies to other bodies of the City and what would be the distinction. Commissioner Schwartz responded if the Commission finds a violation, steps necessary to cure and correct can be recommended to the originating body unless it has already been cured and/or corrected. In response to Commissioner Little's inquiry, Commissioner Shabazz stated the focus has been related to the power of the City Council; he overlooked the language which stated the "originating body;" he is concerned about whether the City Attorney's office would support the Commissions' recommendation. Chair Tilos stated the subcommittee drafted a proposal for the full Commission in order to have more substance than just a recommendation from a subcommittee of two members; he hopes to have a motion on the proposal after Commission discussion. Commissioner Shabazz concurred with Chair Tilos; inquired whether the written analysis will support the recommendation of the Commission or will there be something different when the proposal goes to the City Council. The Chief Assistant City Attorney responded, at a minimum, the Commission's recommendation will be taken to the Council; the City Attorney's office will do a deep analysis of what the subcommittee and full Commission proposed; if the Attorney's office finds a legal way to support it, it will make the recommendation to the Council. Commissioner Schwartz moved approval of the subcommittee recommendation. Commissioner Shabazz seconded the motion which carried by the following roll call vote: Commissioners Little: Aye; Pauling: Aye; Shabazz: Aye; Schwartz: Aye; Chair Tilos: Aye. Ayes: 5. Oral Communications Chair Tilos re-opened Oral Communications because the speaker was unable to join the Zoom meeting at the time.
