Commission hears about RPC recording lapse; RPC to add agenda reminder to start recording
Summary
The commission was told an RPC Executive Committee meeting was not recorded due to the recorder not being activated; the RPC decided written minutes were accurate and will add an agenda instruction to ensure recorders are started.
Chair Rich Turner reported an RPC Executive Committee meeting where the person responsible "forgot to hit the record button" and the committee had to rely on handwritten minutes. Turner said a committee member wanted votes from that meeting to be re-done, but after review the committee concluded the written minutes were accurate and re-voting was unnecessary; the RPC will add a reminder at the top of agendas to ensure recording is activated.
Commissioners discussed reaffirmation as a remedy for unrecorded meetings: Rama Schneider said members can go to their committee and reaffirm decisions to avoid repeating the whole meeting. The commission did not take a formal vote on local policy changes but received the RPC’s corrective measure of adding a recording reminder to future agendas.
