OpenGovernmentCommission | 2021-04-05 | 25 | Commissioner Chen suggested a process for complaints; stated that she hopes there is a list collected of all the Commission's lengthy conversations about all the ways the Sunshine Ordinance is practiced. Commissioner LoPilato suggests two avenues: 1) Section 2-22.4 indicates one of the Commission's duties is to report in writing to the Council at least once annually on any particular policy problems encountered in the administration of the Sunshine Ordinance; she agrees with Commissioner Chen that the Commission is spending about 90% of time on it; the Commission should probably establish a cadence on this in the context of a subcommittee; it should be assumed that complaints will continue to be received and should be explored; 2) Section 2-92.4 states that the Commission shall review public notices to ensure they conform to the requirements of the article and work to improve publicly accessible information databases; suggested welcoming staff's thoughts on what the Commission could best be doing to comply with both those aspects; stated there might be a way to get some suggestions about how the Commission could handle these issues offline in an efficient way; having some cadence may have quicker meetings which would give appropriate time for public comment; noted the great work Vice Chair Shabazz did in his PRA workshop. Commissioner Reid inquired whether it would be possible to hold a special meeting to discuss the null and void remedy, to which Chair Tilos responded he would not like to do so. Vice Chair Shabazz thanked people for attending his PRA workshop; stated he likes the suggestion about a subcommittee with clear goals; suggested exploring having the City Council timer feature and guidelines on what type of questions can be asked in advance of meetings. Commissioner Reid inquired whether it would be possible to establish a subcommittee to discuss some questions that may be relevant to the Sunshine Ordinance. The City Clerk responded it cannot happen tonight since it is not on the agenda; stated the Commission could explore it at a future meeting. Adjournment Chair Tilos adjourned the meeting at 11:34 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Lara Weisiger City Clerk The agenda for this meeting was posted in accordance with the Sunshine Ordinance.
