OpenGovernmentCommission | 2021-02-01 | 2 | Chair Tilos provided background to the new Commissioners; stated a decision was made by the Commission to forward an item to the City Council; staff deliberately did not forward the item to allow the new Commissioners to be part of the conversation; expressed frustration that it was not forwarded; inquired whether the City Attorney's office had any comments. Vice Chair Shabazz stated the discussion may not be appropriate right now since this item is the approval of the minutes. Commissioner Chen stated the question is whether the minutes are accurate or not and can be approved; the Commission can then proceed to item 3-C; the fact that an action was not taken is not part of the minutes per se; the minutes are just conveying what the Commission recorded as to what happened at the last meeting. Chair Tilos stated that he wanted to correct his statement recorded in the minutes regarding the OGC's objective to determine and fix anything broken in the Sunshine Ordinance; clarified that he meant to use the word "violation" instead of "broken." Vice Chair Shabazz suggested deferring the minutes and moving on to other business since Chair Tilos has some concerns regarding his own statements in the minutes; stated that he does not feel comfortable with changes being made to what was actually stated although he appreciates and understands the intention of communicating clearly. In response to Commissioner LoPilato's inquiry, Chair Tilos stated he would accept the minutes as is, but just wanted to make the clarifications. The City Clerk stated Chair Tilos' clarifications are noted and will be reflected in the next set of minutes. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following roll call vote: Commissioners Chen: Abstain; LoPilato: Aye; Reid: Aye; Shabazz: Aye; Chair Tilos: Aye. Ayes: 4 - Abstentions: 1. 3-B. Accept the Annual Public Report and Report Concerning Responses to Public Records Act Requests Referred to the City Attorney's Office in 2020. The Assistant City Attorney stated the report is perfunctory and comes every year. Vice Chair Shabazz inquired whether public comment should come before Commissioner discussion. The City Clerk stated the typical flow is for the Commission to ask questions prior to public comment, take public comments, and the Commission can move into discussion after public comment.
