ill CLARIFICATION BY ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY, JOHN
ARMSTRONG
Mr. Armstrong reviewed how meetings can be operated. This committee is
subject to the "Open Meetings Act". Questions were asked by various committee
members, including who can request an item for the agenda. Although there are
no specific guidelines on this, it was recommended by Mr. Armstrong all requests
should be directed to Acting Chairperson Bill White, or staff members Nick Finan
or Debbie Wilmore.
A concern of Tom Campbell is how they can be assured there will be a board to
hear about use of new materials. Mr. Armstrong suggested the Committee's
report to City Council recommend the best code and a board to hear appeals.
Nick Finan agreed to review the City Council minutes and report the committee's
responsibilities based on Council's direction. He will report back at the next
meeting.
