Summary

The board approved a centralized document-tracking system (modeled on the city's spreadsheet approach) to manage items sent to legal for review, intended to improve tracking, deadlines, and transparency while cautioning against excessive tracking and billing minutiae.

Staff proposed implementing a centralized document-tracking system to log items sent to legal for review—purchase-and-sale agreements, rights of entry, resolutions and other documents. The system was described as a shared repository modeled after the city's spreadsheet to track requests, due dates and responsible parties.

"So, taking a page out of city's book with their attorney, they do document tracking, and I just we basically copied what they do, and provided that for you," the executive director said. Board members supported a single-tracking source to avoid lost emails and scope creep but cautioned that overly detailed tracking can create extra work and legal billing concerns. The motion to approve the document-tracking approach passed 6-0.

Board members requested read-only access for board members and edit permissions for staff and legal so that origins, request dates and response dates are visible to all stakeholders without creating unnecessary administrative burden.
