RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee | 2019-07-01 | 2 | Approved Minutes July 1, 2019 Motion and second to approve minutes (Vice Chair Sullivan-Cheah and Member and Sidelnikov). Motion passed 3-0. 6. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. 7. NEW BUSINESS 7-A: Discussion on RRAC member attendance requirements. Vice Chair Sullivan-Cheah expressed concerned about attendance. Currently, there are only three people attending the meetings regularly, which is the minimum for a quorum. It's also the minimum votes needed to pass any kind of motion and it has to be unanimous. Furthermore, there are no owner representatives, and that experience and perspective is missed. Member Chiu asked if the City Council has been made aware that they might need to appoint a new person. Staff informed the committee they will be conducting interviews with someone to replace Member Johnson in the next few weeks. By August, Chair Murray should be back from out of state work-related activities. Vice Chair Sullivan-Cheah asked if Member Johnson resigned. Staff replied that she did not apply to have her position be renewed. Vice Chair Sullivan-Cheah said he doesn't know what the committee will look like going forward, but he thinks that residents have the right to a fully functioning committee. 7-B. Discussion and vote for Chair and Vice Chair Based on his stated concerns about attendance, Vice Chair Sullivan-Cheah recommended the committee vote on a new chair and vice chair. He confirmed that he has been serving as vice chair and Chair Murray as chair, and he previously served as chair. He said they could nominate Chair Murray to be chair again, and she continues to be chair unless voted otherwise. The bylaws call for a yearly vote. Member Chiu noted the bylaws state that the election should happen at the first meeting after July 1 at which all committee members are present. It could mean that they would never have that vote because they've never had all of their committee members present. Vice Chair Sullivan-Cheah submitted that Robert's Rules of Order allows meetings to take place under a quorum. City Attorney staff said the intent of the rule is that, if for some reason not all members are present but would be present fairly quickly, then the vote should be delayed until all are | RentReviewAdvisoryCommittee/2019-07-01.pdf |
