Commission agrees to redline 2018 rules; draft due in November
Summary
Commissioners agreed to review rules and procedures written in 2018, asked for volunteers to redline the document, and instructed staff (Frankie) to compile emailed suggestions into an initial draft expected for the November meeting.
Commissioners discussed revisiting the commission's rules and procedures, which the agenda noted were written in 2018 and have largely not been used as written. One commissioner noted the document may be treated as an internal guidance document unless an assembly ordinance is pursued in the new year.
Commissioners agreed that someone should "put pen to paper" and produce a redlined draft. A commissioner volunteered to prepare an initial redline and asked colleagues to email suggested changes to staff. "Email them to Frankie," the chair said; Frankie agreed to compile edits and track changes. The volunteer said they could produce an initial draft for the November meeting.
During the discussion commissioners raised minor updates and clarifications the draft should consider, including adding a clear virtual-attendance notation beside roll call, updating references to the health department's name/abbreviation, and keeping municipal-language references to recordings (tape or digital). No formal vote was taken on specific rule changes at the meeting.
The commission set a process rather than adopting immediate changes: commissioners will submit suggested edits by email; staff will compile them; and the commission will consider a redlined draft at a future meeting, with an initial draft planned for November.
