OpenGovernmentCommission | 2021-10-04 | 9 | Commissioner Chen stated in light of what Vice Chair Shabazz said, she is okay if the Commission approves sending it on; it is an ongoing process; moved approval of accepting the report. The Chief Assistant City Attorney inquired whether the draft of the report which was attached to the agenda has additional language. Vice Chair Shabazz responded the staff report has blanks where information needed to be inserted or facts cited; stated the clean document he sent at the start of the meeting includes the information. The Chief Assistant City Attorney stated that she has concerns; the Commission would be voting to approve a document that was not in the packet and people are having trouble locating; it would not be a good idea to consider voting on a document that was provided so late. Commissioner Reid stated it seems there is a lot of confusion about the document and perhaps would be wise to table it until the next time and Commissioner Chen would have an opportunity to clean it up a bit. Commissioner Chen withdrew her motion. Vice Chair Shabazz suggested deferring the item to the next meeting. Chair Tilos concurred; stated it will be brought back on the next agenda November 1st 3-C. Adopt Proposed Complaint Procedure Commissioner LoPilato gave a brief presentation. Speaker: Karen Butter, League of Women Voters, inquired whether the process addresses complaints about the Commission. Jay Garfinkle, Alameda, clarified what he meant regarding the term steamrolling; stated when members of the Commission have a lot of momentum, it is impossible to change their mind on issues he believes they misunderstand; he feels the complaint process is heavily tipped toward protecting the actions of City staff and elected officers; submitted suggestions on how to tip the process in favor of the public; urged the Commission to table consideration of the process until the next meeting. Vice Chair Shabazz moved approval of adopting the proposed complaint procedures. Commissioner LoPilato seconded the motion.
