Vice Chair Dieter moved approval of the October 3, 2016 Minutes.

 

Commissioner Aguilar seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 4.  [Absent: Commissioner Henneberry - 1.]

 

3-B. Accept the Annual Public Report

 

Vice Chair Dieter stated she thinks the agenda title, “Accept the Annual Public Report” is unclear; she suggested adding the words “alleged violations of the Sunshine Ordinance” to the title and including the number of public records requests the next time the report is on the agenda, so that the public will know exactly what the report is when reading the agenda title.

 

The Assistant City Attorney took note of Vice Chair Dieter’s comments.

 

Commissioner Aguilar moved approval of accepting the annual report.

 

Commissioner Little seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 4. [Absent: Commissioner Henneberry - 1.]

 

COMMISSIONER COMMUNICATIONS

 

Vice Chair Dieter inquired the time frame of the Semi-Annual and Annual Reports, to which the Assistant City Attorney responded she does not know at the moment, but will provide the answer at the next meeting.

 

Vice Chair Dieter requested a copy of the revised Sunshine Ordinance.

 

The Assistant City Clerk stated she would provide copies to all Commissioners.

 

In response to Chair Foreman’s inquiry about when he was elected Chair, the Assistant City Attorney stated the Commission meets twice a year and he was elected in October 2016.

 

Chair Foreman stated he thought the election of officers takes place at the first meeting in February.

 

The Assistant City Attorney stated she will check on the practice, review the by-laws, and inform the Commission.

 

ADJOURNMENT

 

There being no further business, Chair Foreman adjourned the meeting at 7:09 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Irma Glidden, Assistant City Clerk
