OpenGovernmentCommission | 2021-03-01 | 20 | to undo the work of the Renaming Committee. Commissioner Chen stated that she really enjoyed reading the packet; she was impressed about how much work the committee put into the renaming; it made three dimensional the whole discussion about inclusion and bringing back hidden history; she is ready to move forward with a vote. Chair Tilos concurred with Commissioner Chen; stated he appreciates all the hard work of the ARPD and RPC for including everyone in the community in the decisions; he is ready to vote on the issue. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following roll call vote: Commissioners Chen: Aye; LoPilato: Aye; Chair Tilos: Aye. Ayes: 3. [Absent: Commissioners Reid and Shabazz]. Commissioner LoPilato inquired whether the OGC is able to issue a decision that the complaint was found to be unfounded. Chair Tilos stated they used the term "sustained" when issuing a decision on past complaints; deferred to the Chief Assistant City Attorney. The Chief Assistant City Attorney stated that based on her recollection of the motion, it was slightly more involved; it is more appropriate and complete to have to vote match in the written decision. The City Clerk clarified that Commissioner LoPilato's initial motion included more detail, but was then simplified to find the complaint unfounded primarily on procedural grounds. Commissioner LoPilato stated there was alignment in the deliberations that there was good public engagement in the process; inquired whether there was also alignment on a finding that there was substantial compliance with the Sunshine Ordinance; stated, if so, it should be part of the ultimate decision; another way to state it is that the issue was cured and corrected by the public meetings. Chair Tilos stated he did not want to go that route to show that the Commission was talking about the ad hoc committees and not the methods used to cure it; it seems redundant. The Chief Assistant City Attorney advised the Commission to create the most complete record possible; stated if the consensus or unanimity of the voting Commissioners is that the decision was based on three factors, all the factors should be in the final, written decision; it should be reflective of all the reasons the decisions was made. Chair Tilos stated that he would be in agreement to include all Commissioner LoPilato's reasons for reaching the decision.
