Commission debates meeting frequency and subcommittee scheduling; staff notes bylaw change would require 0.667 vote
Summary
Members debated whether to reduce meeting frequency or rely on subcommittees for the Project Unity anniversary work; staff emphasized that changing commission meeting frequency would require a bylaw amendment and a 0.667 vote.
Commissioners discussed the frequency of regular meetings and whether the anniversary subcommittee should continue meeting regularly. Several members noted difficulty achieving a quorum this year and suggested alternatives like meeting every other month or scheduling ad-hoc meetings when needed for time-sensitive tasks.
Staff clarified the procedural constraint: changing the commission's official meeting frequency would require a bylaw amendment and a 0.667 vote. "If you guys decide to do nothing at all, it'll stay the same," staff said, and members agreed to add meeting-frequency as a future agenda item and revisit it after the September Project Unity presentation.
