Commission asks city attorney to draft resolution urging lawmakers to consider changes after Copley decision
Summary
The commission voted without objection to ask the city attorney to draft a resolution urging the mayor and Board of Supervisors to petition the California Legislature to amend state law in response to the Copley Press decision; the motion was seconded and ordered "without objection."
On reconvening from closed session, a commissioner moved that the city attorney draft a resolution urging the Board of Supervisors and the mayor to petition the California Legislature to amend state law in reaction to the Copley Press decision.
Commissioner (speaker 13) made the motion requesting the city attorney to prepare the draft; a second was recorded and the motion was adopted "without objection." The commission did not include a timeline or text for that resolution at the meeting; the city attorney was asked to prepare language for future consideration by the commission and to advise on legal and procedural implications.
The action directs staff to prepare a formal recommendation to the citys elected officials rather than immediately altering the commissions hearing procedures. Next steps will be a city-attorney memorandum and a draft resolution to be calendared for a future meeting.
