OpenGovernmentCommission | 2022-01-11 | 4 | the Legistar archives; she is fine with the language that the PRA report could be modeled after this report; the bigger question is whether to make an ask about the development of a 10-year plan or report related to the history of the Sunshine Ordinance; she does not know if the City Council is aware that an annual report on PRAs is prepared. In response to Vice Chair LoPilato's inquiry, the City Clerk stated the PRA report evolved from the Commission; basically the OGC asked questions about the PRAs, wanted data, and the information was added to the annual report; now that the City has NextRequest which tracks the data, it will evolve again. Commissioner Chen stated that she recalls it was former Commissioner Shabazz who requested the PRA report; the rest of the Commission joined in the second year of the report and it became more detailed as a result; she will include the history. Vice Chair LoPilato stated that she is in favor of bringing a version back in February to incorporate the Complaint Form amendments; she offered suggestions for consideration, not so as much as line-by-line recommendations; inquired what the subcommittee sees as the best path to ensure an efficient vote on a final report in February. Commissioner Chen stated the report was started six months ago and keeps changing; she would like to present a final version next month for the Commission's approval; she appreciates all the input provided; it is aspirational to see if the City in interested in helping to produce a more robust document. In response to Chair Tilos's inquiry, Commissioner Chen stated that she would like to put the report to bed to start on the next one. The City Clerk stated any Commission suggestions should be emailed to her to forward to Commissioner Chen. Vice Chair LoPilato stated the Commission is doing great and is slowly learning how to produce work product as a group on the fly; she would like to receive feedback from the Commission on the complaint hearing in December; a lot of different issues came up; there was discussion regarding the possibility of making a recommendation to encourage the City consider the 15-day statute of limitations as it applies to PRA requests; inquired whether the Commission would consider it a worthy recommendation before Commissioner Chen puts time into it. Commissioner Cambra stated that he supports Vice Chair LoPilato's comments regarding the recommendation; as long as there are fruitful and productive conversations between City staff and the requestor, it would be fine; the statute could be refined so there is a clear point where the parties are done; requiring a meet and confer would be helpful in the event a complainant did not want to engage with the City. Commissioner Chen stated that she would appreciate language for the report. Meeting of the Open Government Commission January 11, 2022 4 | OpenGovernmentCommission/2022-01-11.pdf |
