Commissioners plan to collect archived interviews, weigh opt-in mailing list and consent issues
Summary
Commissioner Sudan said he has archived interviews to submit for the commission's report; commissioners discussed a consent-based mailing list, whether the city can host content, and the administrative burden of running a newsletter.
Commissioner Sudan reported he conducted more interviews than those formally submitted and that the recordings and notes are archived with a former administrative assistant (Sage); he said he will transfer the material to Deborah for the commission to review. Commissioners said reviewing the submitted interviews could help identify study areas that need further investigation.
The commission then discussed communications and outreach. The chair and others stressed that any mailing list must be opt-in and comply with consent and open-records considerations, and Commissioner Goodspeed suggested using the city's existing channels rather than running a standalone newsletter to reduce workload. "Consent is everything. We can't surprise people," Goodspeed said. Commissioners agreed to explore using the commission's webpage and report to host interviews or summaries subject to interviewees' permission.
