OpenGovernmentCommission | 2021-05-03 | 7 | make a decision and make recommendations about how to improve the process. Public Comment: Stated that he was not keeping track of which item the Commission is discussing because the conversation seems to have drifted into some of the topics raised in issues later on the agenda: Zac Bowling, Alameda. Commissioner LiPilato moved approval of the Commission adopting a recommendation for the addition of Subsection D to Section 2-93.2 with the new subsection stating: "In addition to the Open Government Commission's (OGC) ability to render a formal written opinion, finding a violation or non-violation of the Sunshine Ordinance, the Commission may also consider options for informal resolutions of complaints; upon a majority vote, the Commission may make non-binding recommendations to the City Manager, City Attorney's Office, City Clerk or City Council regarding informal resolution options or steps to avoid future similar complaints." Commissioner Chen seconded the motion, which carried by the following roll call vote: Commissioners Chen: Aye; LoPilato: Aye; Reid: Aye; Shabazz: Aye; Chair Tilos: Aye. Ayes: 5. The Assistant City Attorney read the red-lined portion of the issue pertaining to penalties. Vice Chair Shabazz stated there was a second addition at the end of the paragraph on page 47, Exhibit 4: "As soon as practical, the originating body shall consider and take appropriate action. Commissioner LoPilato clarified Exhibit 4 is staff's revisions to the original subcommittee proposal, which was steered away from; however, the next item on her proposed revisions is actually taken from that; the Commission could jump to it next; although the Assistant City Attorney stated there were no redlines in the penalty portion of the proposal, Commissioner Reid submitted some today that can be reviewed after. Commissioner Reid stated that she submitted two proposals; one is labeled Section E under 2-92.2; she noticed her correspondence did not appear on the agenda; her second proposal is under penalties Section 2-93.8; suggested just following the order. The City Clerk confirmed that Commissioner Reid's correspondence was delivered to all Commissioners and uploaded as part of the record. Commissioner LoPilato read the revisions of Section 2-93.8.b: "If the Commission finds a violation of Section 2-9.2 Public Information, the Commission may recommend to the City, staff, City Manager, City Clerk, and the City Attorney steps necessary to cure the violation; the City Manager, City Clerk and/or the City Attorney, as appropriate, shall promptly render a final written decision upon receipt of the Commission's recommendation.'
