OpenGovernmentCommission | 2021-02-01 | 14 | 2011 through 2019; urged working together to figure out what would be an effective replacement for the null and void remedy; he would like whatever the solution is to encourage transparency and accessibility. Commissioner Chen there was an accountability that was completely removed and the Commission just wants to see what that accountability can look like. The Assistant City Attorney inquired whether there is any desire to bifurcate the items directed to staff; stated the issues related to the annual report can be at a subsequent meeting; the null and void questions posed by Commissioner LoPilato and Vice Chair Shabazz can be discussed at a next meeting. Chair Tilos responded both subjects are pretty meaty and concurred with the Assistant City Attorney; inquired whether two separate, dedicated meetings could be done. The Assistant City Attorney responded in the affirmative, stated since there is no requirement on follow-up with respect to the annual report, the item can be on an April meeting; the null and void remedy item can be the focus of the March meeting so no momentum is lost; he suggests converting the questions that have been posed by Commissioner LoPilato and Vice Chair Shabazz in a motion to direct staff to come back with a staff report to address the items; addressing Vice Chair Shabazz's comments, once information is laid out regarding other jurisdictions, it might provide the Commission with some ideas about the universe of options out there. Vice Chair Shabazz stated he likes the suggestion of finding other jurisdictions and other possible options; he is willing to put some energy collaboratively towards drafting a flow chart; seeing it visually may assist with understanding the process at each step. In response to Chair Tilos' inquiry regarding consensus on bifurcating the topics at two separate meetings, Vice Chair Shabazz stated he is opposed to having the next meeting solely on the null and void issue; there is currently an effort to do some police reform to address racial equity and subcommittees have been going to some of the different commissions; there are some things that may align with some of the issues of the OGC; it would be beneficial to provide a space to discuss the issue within the OGC context. Chair Tilos inquired whether Vice Chair Shabazz is recommending that the topics should be heard together in March or April. Vice Chair Shabazz responded it goes back to his comments about making a work plan with goals and priorities and how that would reflect the timing; he suggests meeting in March, April, and May to address all the issues, but prioritize the issues based on what reaches the goals of what the Commission is about; there is conversation to be had about oversight, which very much aligns with some of the functions of the Commission; based on the timeline and priorities, he suggests providing a forum in March for the Commission to learn about oversight issues, address the null and void issue in April, then address the annual report in May or June.
