On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following roll call vote: Commissioners Chen: Aye; LoPilato: Aye; Reid: No; Shabazz: Aye; Chair Tilos: Aye. Ayes: 4. Noes: 1. Vice Chair Shabazz inquired what the next steps are for the annual report and whether it would go to the Council in writing. The City Clerk responded the annual report will be transmitted to the Council and they will receive a copy of it. Chief Assistant City Attorney further clarified that Sunshine Ordinance Section 2-93.6 states the Commission shall prepare an annual report to be placed on the City's website and made generally publicly available in printed form of alleged violations of the ordinance brought to its attention during the previous calendar year. Commissioner Reid stated her main concern is that there are inaccuracies in the annual report. In response to Vice Chair Shabazz's inquiry, the City Clerk stated the annual report does not go before the Council as an agenda item, it just gets transmitted to them. Vice Chair Shabazz stated there was some extensive conversations about challenges happening with PRAs, which might be something the Commission wishes to have a report to share with Council. Chair Tilos stated Vice Chair Shabazz's comments could be addressed under Commissioner Communications. Vice Chair Shabazz provided a brief background on the report; suggested prefacing the report by noting including background would be helpful; stated language should also be added to the Sunshine Ordinance so that the report is kept beyond the current Commissioners' terms. Commissioner LoPilato suggested, in accordance with a public comment, that residential addresses be redacted before publishing the report. The Chief Assistant City Attorney stated her understanding is that the only thing being published on the City's website will be the chart of the complaints; there is no requirement or authority under the Sunshine Ordinance to include the other documents. The City Clerk clarified all staff reports and exhibits are posted on the City's website; the addresses that were listed were not the requestor's address, but the specific address for which information was being requested.
