10-08-18 Laredo Commission for Women

A

B

Wavy Bellino's.

C

D

E

Out this time we need someone XML take them in the.

B

Feed over person might even Garcia.

F

B

We see RCS person being together is the man baby. Seven Lopez Clemente see your Polanco present in the Ramirez present Sandra Taylor Rocha person. The anomaly is very nice. A silver present Francis Murphy Janice.

G

H

And globally, when you turn on she yeah, she does define she's out of town.

B

Okay, nopony cummins, no in here here, okay, so we've received with the approval of the minutes, which was song for August August.

E

I move that we.

B

Accepting existing.

I

One discussion of possible.

B

Action regarding existing violence and a couple of ordinances, Amaya regulative, a commission of woman and each member and any matters- is.

J

If I could I just want to explain out is got enough place to sign him on the agenda just to go over the bylaws that exist right now,.

K

J

The applicable ordinance that was approved by council this year around may know February. It was never.

F

Had to application.

J

It's a compliance by name so and I think it was already given to you all a long time ago. I just want to go over it, so that if you have any concerns or questions, I guess.

F

J

Could try to figure out what the appropriate answer would be, the bylaws included them because I know some of them was not legal. Like the forum, one, that's and I also paid it to me. Well, he should have been here, but yeah Melvin couldn't make it mr. Luke Joseph, but I. Also, since it's on the agenda, you wanna go and ride it through the bylaws. Maybe talk about changing some of them or what you'd like to see them. That way we can presented to Council and maybe update the bible's LS USC's. There.

G

Already and we got them on preview.

J

H

My daughter was on the computer one time she was the one that chaired going on. I am Moses.

J

F

K

These were 2011.

J

Its 2018, so you all want to change some things. You know we have to look to make sure whether recommendations.

F

Are made that illegal.

G

F

J

We can, with.

G

Council, which existing by lots at the coordinates, might expect that every other conditions for women and its members can.

L

G

Through those first and see which ones those summer.

J

Hang on somebody.

F

G

J

G

J

One of the major issues between the existing ordinance that was approved by council this year was the absences or being absent at any Commission Committee report here, I think it says if there's two enemies all with such unity. Okay, we.

F

J

3 and it's a section 2 of the section of article connector membership does if any member is absent for more than two unexcused consecutive regularly scheduled meetings, the commission chair may recommend to be appropriate. A little official that another person be appointed, really does have any teeth. You know they may they may not. So Lee doesn't matter the bathroom or not, but the ordinance states that if you miss three meetings in a calendar year, you're off the board automatically not on oh. If she wants you to be off.

G

J

Or unexcused any means.

F

You missing your you're up.

E

F

Yes, I want to say April.

L

Yeah, because that you.

B

Care April a.

L

J

It was approved in the past and they put singing so that's gonna apply, so we're gonna go to the one if somebody has since May, because they went into effect in May from May to today. Regular meetings that.

F

Are scheduled, which is the.

I

J

Monday of every month, unless no it's a regular meeting, but today you over here, so we take role and even if you don't have a quorum, you showed up. So you tell us that you were here those that work. That's gonna, be the strike against them. So you don't have three here. So this.

F

Is to try to encourage the.

G

Participation and other committees.

G

Between may now, they're automatically up.

I

M

Ordinance they approved it.

J

Something meetings, work will either cancel them and we held a special.

F

E

That's the song, it has to be a.

J

Regular schedule means which is the second Monday of every.

H

F

H

F

J

Regular ones, it's.

F

L

F

Have two meetings in the month.

J

The special one that should not count against you. It has to be this regular schedule.

B

So you should be exactly when the meeting took place. The.

A

G

J

Tourney- and this is not just this community or this commission- all the Commission's are the same. You know things ever be the same, and so what we asked, whereas the attorney, if they could put something together, that's a standard letter, basically same section, whatever the charter of the ordinance was approved on this day and it states the following and as a right now, you've missed X number of days so you're automatically removed. You know, unfortunately, that's that's. What's in.

E

The city miss to next.

J

January you starting to see you mr. first one, that's the first one out that year, so the other two they're up.

D

Because of weather and then was canceled that does not kind of gets anything.

J

Well, did we hold the meeting at all.

I

J

You can do that. It's.

F

When, like this, for instance like today, folks.

J

Have been show up that somebody told us that.

I

When you call the meeting to order and we take for more 10 minutes, that's all right.

M

And if they're late.

J

That's okay, as long as they show up to the meeting that they're here, I mean at least not an issue: it's when they don't show it at all.

M

It may be explained that, even if they showed up late, they would.

J

The musical the Minsk.

C

K

Soaring people you.

J

Hold uh roll call, you have a corn, then you have a quorum and the meetings of progress. Someone walks in that's, okay, it's when you hold when you take row and you don't have a quorum, you cancel it and everybody kind of walks away and then somebody walks in with ten fifteen minutes later.

M

When it's no use.

F

Until you cancel that's too late, okay, so the official role is official role. No.

J

We have formic today someone walks in that's not going to be old again because we're here for the meeting, even though lily.

M

Would be based on calendar year, not the city's kitchen.

J

No television and.

F

Then we look at that section of the ordinance. That's just one of the issues that we.

D

Saw and I said you know.

F

Whether to place.

J

It on here we can restore article by article I, don't think it'll be super hard and then maybe discord you all want to change. Some things take some motions. We could present that to Council on the next meeting or so.

I

G

I

Us own ordinance, so we can't change it right.

G

I

G

Don't see it fair, sometimes if you're sick, she doesn't dama I mean it's beyond your control.

J

G

Or something how.

L

That's when they give you three, let's just say.

D

You could be sick for three.

L

F

A row in 90.

D

F

That would be still.

G

You have work, I mean we all have to work so another meetings at 5:30, Joey.

L

I'm just saying that sometimes are.

G

Clear, a no pasa to.

K

G

Had on we've all had emergencies in their lives or thinner to pop out of my mouth, we called Italian s, correct, there's, no way, lady, you know what I mean I I'm, just trying to tell you that those are legitimate excuses that we cannot allow for them to say well, nobody said knowing that what cannot do it? Nobody can do it in America, yeah.

J

And I would say this I would say if that's a legitimate concern that the council thank.

N

You Miss Anna calendar your 60s.

J

The council members for their means and.

F

J

Even though their excuse or not doesn't matter, they could only missed six days. No I'm! Sorry! Now that Kelly well, you had a calendar year so that.

K

Saves somebody misses in February well, take me that's where his.

J

Calendar starts it's kind of weird: it's not from January to January. It's a twitting.

F

J

Year, in a 12-month period now.

K

This one says you cannot be absent more than six.

J

Times in a 12-month period that for the council members so.

K

Somebody's absent March his.

J

Calendar just started for twelve months. It's all.

D

Keeping tabs I keep type of all of that and then end their vacation time is counted right. It's those absences, regular.

J

Regular means so this is rigorous. We have a calendar for the whole.

F

J

Regular meetings, this meet it all.

K

The meetings are there.

J

This one I think it's at least two I think in December there's only one and maybe January, there's only one. So it's about 22 meetings so.

F

Then is six.

J

Or more than six minutes they're automatically, you have to resign. That's what it says in the chart. I think it's yeah in the Turner and so.

K

Because people about that issue up well, this person's.

J

Been absent so many time, yeah and so.

G

J

To do a present and they would they well, they understood, but they didn't want to understand. Well,.

F

We have a workshop.

J

We have specially called council meetings and so.

L

D

Of them you look for whatever they can make it. It's been.

J

Absent all the time you.

D

J

Gregory meetings he's been at every single meeting. You might not have showed up to workshop or special meeting, so I don't hold that against them, because the Charter is specific, regular scheduled meetings, and so it's the same thing here. But here's three. So if you have a.

F

Concern with that.

J

You can talk to your council, women.

J

You have mention it to me, says: hey, you know, I wasn't you know now looking at it back in retrospect, maybe we.

K

Shouldn't have done it. This.

J

Three minute, maybe four or five: you know that you could have the option because it's a year.

D

It's very and everybody here in this building when you come to the meeting and you schedule, and you move things aside, because this is your set day and we know what it is and you don't have a quorum. So that's even more frustrating than whatever.

F

D

Happen I mean you have three times in the year that you could be asset, so I told.

G

You know what I have to agree with that, because guess what people abuse it and I'm gonna call and say: I'm, sick, okay, I'm working late, I believe my clients to be here. No, but you said, and if you work for somebody talk that then don't.

G

So I I supported three I think it's understanding.

J

That that's an example. We just start.

F

L

Number one and to.

F

G

City council member session.

J

Enough that you want to have a three minute.

G

Told me Joe I mean I'm, nothing only! That's my just my opinion, my humble opinion, because I do know that sometimes it is impossible to get here if I'm in a wreck or if I haven't been ready to be and I. Don't let say, I give us three, but guess what we're going to get.

B

I

G

Always had to wait for people and MEA I know how it feels. I know exactly how I feel, but I'm always here.

L

C

A

J

Name of the commission shall be the cumulative Commission for women urine after designated as the commission. Any concerns issues.

K

With that, okay.

J

Article two creation and purpose: the purpose of the Commission is to promote equality in legal, social, political, economic and educational opportunities and advancement for all women throughout the city of Louisville. The Commission shall number one identify the need and concerns of women, develop and add access strategies, including community outreach activities, public-private partnerships, coordination of community and state resources and.

K

Recommendation assistance.

J

Recommended assistance and services to improve the status of women in laredo, okay,.

G

J

G

Is a very welcoming paragraph because for a year we've been told that the only purpose we had was a Hall of Fame and I, kept on disputing that and saying where we don't have a purpose, because I did research, other mothers permission for women's and it was pretty much the same. So I am relieved that we are able that this is really our purpose to promote equality in Google's, social, political, economic and educational opportunity and investment program throughout the city of Laredo.

G

We have their purpose, because a Hall of Fame being only purpose was not correct and I'm. So glad that this is here and we're moving forward with this and.

J

I was that asked Nina but she's already moving on it's gonna be going to another department within the city, but I will test will be researching to see what other communities are doing, an idea that someone told me was and then the issue here is you're not allowed to do fundraising. So that's.

F

K

That any Commission and I think.

F

J

Sent out to the legal opinion, maybe two years ago, something like that, and so that's the concern that they've always had so you kind of just left it to do the whole thing. Well, like one instance where someone told me see the person said well, why can't they do something like like professional or I guess a tire litter for females, because some folks don't have the money to go, buy dresses to go. Do an energy.

F

J

Solar help them with skills to volunteers organizations, but you guys organize that and then help them to better their skills at doing interviews. These are that nature. How do you help women improve their lives in that sense, and so what we want to do is what I've been thinking with, and maybe the Commission can look at other cities on the on its own and.

F

K

F

Type of ideas and.

J

To see how you can empower women just to better themselves in general and.

G

Then what there are state resources for this as well as you know, also.

M

We we did it to a certain level with the high school kids and they way to touch all of those at cami you for those skills, they're there etiquette skills and all of the stuff so that they can succeed once they go of course, and we all peers past wheels. So one of our plans in art in our for the year was to have something like that and for for women of the city. However, we run into the funding issue.

M

It was going to be home, I, don't know if you remember, we were gonna plant it at the Embassy Suites and it was gonna be like for empowering women and and just to interviewing skills, like you said, and all that, but and.

J

I would say it was first funny because you can always figure out a way to do things. You can do it at the public, whether that's a city owned facility.

L

And we have that big.

J

Meeting room in there.

L

Yeah and on the side of the area to the left and so I think.

J

If it's over a hundred people using.

K

F

So those are the utilities or the the.

J

Things you can use from the from the city.

N

J

The issue that the illegal Department has always had the.

F

They're not allowed to spend money or raise money on.

J

Behalf of them.

K

F

City, it's an advisory commission and what I would say is whatever projects.

J

The Commission comes up with we've put them in a formal vote who would present to get them approved by council and.

K

J

And that would you get the okay and there you say: okay, we're going to do this and we like to you the resources of the city as far as a location and so the length of that location and.

D

J

Stuff, like that I mean all right legitimate. Let's.

D

J

We get it first checked out by a new boy: there's no issues. If there are issues. Okay, how do we go around issues to get it done? And so then you get out of perfect house one. It's a good thing.

G

Which was, it was very powerful. We had the young permission we had, which cost nothing to us, but we partnered with Timmy u-kiss's partnerships and they look host their their export convention, whatever they called it. Fair and.

F

G

Was 200 girls from all high schools and our commission for women when we would be there and we would help with the speakers and help us with the help of the topic select.

J

The topics they.

G

Killed it otherwise was very disappointed. This year.

G

In opportunity to be able to.

J

E

J

B

M

Yeah so because they have to be.

J

No I mean said anytime that you all want to do a special project, though.

E

There's no issue with.

J

Town, so me they were willing to support any of the Uniting that you get want to come up with well.

G

I think it's very interesting. I mean this is very unlikely because, for example, children three participate with established acts, force and policy groups on this effecting woman, they'd label, those political mother to federal and state legislation, that city policies, ordinance and resolutions relating to issues affecting women state level. Those political.

J

This issue: okay, I, don't want to go to each one that case, let's.

F

Do this, let's.

J

Finish first saw the article secured in this section and then we'll discuss each one item area. If you have any issues, I think.

K

The political parties, when.

J

You start involving politicians if it's an.

G

J

You, like, let's say you want to change some okay.

G

J

You just feel very passionate about that. You guys both here say. You know what we feel that people pace not equal. We want to pass a resolution or some minute resolution to City Council, saying that we'd like for them to consider doing the resolution saying that they want to stay to better the equal pay.

F

So what you're doing.

J

Here is you're in your your getting involved with that issue, but you're presented to council who's.

F

The one that's going to take action for you guys if they.

K

J

The issue, or they support issue and so.

F

That's I think what they want, something Commission recommendations.

G

They're, the ones yeah they.

L

Want the recommendation.

J

Specific and not been done, counsel before and.

F

So a lot of we.

J

Don't know everything and so from a different view, every person has a different view of how things should be, or you know, and so you get that recommendation and coming from the group as an organized road say hey. We want you to consider this for your next they're coming up with a legislative agenda. I want to say it's every person in November they're going to go to the state in January February, and so that's where the city has and I always tell people is the city has people they paying to lobby for them.

J

Well, what issues are passion that you guys are passionate about? Then you can present the council. They can get behind that. Then they have the gathered pain to go lobby to make that change. It doesn't.

F

Always work, but it has to start somewhere, and so whatever your issues that you live in vision as a group.

J

Present that to council and.

F

That's where the council.

J

G

I, don't think that's ever happened, I mean we all have you.

J

Know the point of view, but you have never presented, tops and so I think that that's that's part of the thing they lobby or if it's an idea that they have or whatever staff tells them hey. You know we need this okay, once it will support it, get our people and lobby for it, but.

K

You guys are like the staff you.

J

Know you guys make recommendations here too for them to counsel and then that way anything you know yeah get on board on that and it.

N

Go with it, I guess what they're more than what I'm hearing and what I heard, not just here but went, but the other people in the city agents don't want it to get upon ourselves to stay in. The real commission of women stands for x, y&z. Any.

F

N

Or just that by these student council, this.

J

Is not an advisory committee, but.

F

Not us taking there.

L

N

We also cannot be partisan either that they told me a big time.

J

You smashed up of us political issues as far as colors the women.

F

A

General, not a specific person that was.

G

Legal, it says social, medical.

J

G

Really has to be just advisory. It's no choice. Again. The section was politically.

J

The way I look at it is you have a wish, an issue that you need political pull from the council. That's issue! You want to push for. That's how I say it's political, so I guess do you have any issues with number one as far.

G

J

Worth changing or any other.

J

Participation or participate with established task force and policy groups on issues of thinking, women and.

F

H

What we were just talking about any.

J

Issues policy things that you like to have changed at the city or at the state or at the federal level. That's where the group has to get together. The Commission moving.

F

Forward, that's what council and let's have them and.

J

Tell us what hey you know. We want you to get our issue that we see is needed here in Laredo and so.

F

That's where you know they like that stuff.

M

Can I get support somehow I don't know if it's because I'm, not following all of the outcomes of the City Council meetings or there seems to be either a disconnect in in in the communication. So I know we're supposed to thankful what what the City Council recommends and but what about so that we want. We don't duplicate, something that's already being done by another commission or if it's already being worked on and it looks like we're not paying attention and like then we bring it up, it's been redundant.

M

How can that information flow back to this condition so that we can share and make their.

F

M

Know edge to well, if this is your plan for the year, if the council assistant councils plan for the year, then how can we dump it all into each of your projects? Well,.

J

Usually talking about like legislative issues, those don't get developed.

F

F

D

May be what you already mentioned is for us to vote amongst ourselves. Is there something that we really want are passionate about, and then we present it to you, but.

G

That's the operational review articles, that's not what she's saying she's saying: how can how can we know what to.

J

L

G

What they're doing either we watch it or we don't and that's.

J

It at the another day, I mean they'll, place, an item. We don't know that they're working because I don't deal with all of them on every single issue and so I. Don't think that it would hurt. Even if it's a duplicated issue, I think it just shows that there's more power behind it. If two or three Commission's and.

F

J

There's other commissioned deals with women's issues if.

E

It's information you seek, then the best thing would be is to appoint someone to attend the council meetings and then report back at.

D

K

Lately, meaning you.

D

E

I really I mean other than looking at the agendas and going over the minutes leading up to me. But if you, if you want so one could attend the meetings and then they.

B

Get a written or.

C

M

Report, after all,.

J

It's just the man is.

G

A very needed and.

J

So it's it's just a lot of information that they go over but again I, think or something that if.

F

I'm on the council, when I see this.

J

Group coming forward that they want this and there's room for they want the same thing. That just means that the item is important and that issues importantly, nothing don't give it more consideration than something else. The.

F

Courage that that.

B

The Commission might want.

J

Have something else would be supporting something else? That's.

B

Already someone.

L

Else might have already.

F

Mentioned I think it just supports.

J

F

G

J

Monitor federal state legislation and city policies, ordinances resolutions related to issues affecting women to safety.

E

That's looking at the university's policies on limits on equal pay or whatever just dropped sexual.

B

Harassment and then making the state ordering them.

G

J

Those are you brought up sexual harassment. That might be an issue that the Commission might want to look at and say: okay I mean that doesn't just affect went into Fixman too, but if we all want to look at the.

K

J

That can be brought forward. You all can look at and say well, this should be stronger, maybe not and then said it. You know as counselor, will you consider making this part of the city issues for the policies? Maybe changing.

F

J

To do this, and you like this, based on whatever issue you guys want to move here: okay,.

F

Then number four is eight.

J

The City Council and finding recommending qualified women for the point tube office or commissions and boards and etc. That.

M

J

Positions open up within the city, I mean I, don't know that I mean again we're just reading. What's there I don't even want out there to begin with.

E

G

Just an advising committee, yes.

J

Yeah now I'm just going to say because there's a gentleman that that you leave passion about veterans, female and male, and so he would before council several meetings and kept telling them hey. You all need to have any of your policy where you give a little bit more consideration.

K

J

Veterans, whatever sex but veterans and solo, the city said you know what okay, let's, let's do that so I think that for every application.

K

J

We get funded, the city gets hundreds of applications, applicants apply for positions, christine has to be a certain percentage of their veterans. They should be interviewing at least being abused and so that they put that into the policies. Now I, don't know: y'all wanna close down that router. You want to eliminate that.

G

Night actually efforts another commission talking about this issue and there's was a number of women in top management positions versus the number of men and and only not as ever, safe and I thought hey. You know that. That's what you know that would be interesting. No interest in equal opportunity.

D

If someone would or a committee in the city out.

J

D

Just lift council members reach.

J

D

J

The councilmen reach out, you know to people people reach out to the council members that do what I do specifically meeting online in our department. We have the vacancies available for other committees, so you want.

F

To say you know: I, like the.

J

Waters issues secondary waters: you can mean every passion about trying to find a secondary water source you go on. Are you click on our board under that commission? No tell you.

K

J

And then you can reach up to that council member and ask all of the building staff let dr. Wong Silas and one of his committees and.

F

K

J

He's having issues with corns and so he's got four five vacancy. So he's always calling the council who says hey, look I have a list of people that want to participate. Here's a list, you know he's. You know talk to somebody or pick somebody from the list and these people want to participate, and so the staff legs I'm just ready to do that. People in general is just on their own. You know approach the councilmen wherever they feel that they want to participate.

D

If you all don't actually promote that people can't the community can serve on the Commission I, don't really see that anyone army.

J

But how do you, how do you do that? A public texas, not a lot of people, will watch I'll, be honest for those.

F

Yeah you're right a lot.

J

Of people watch public access unless you're looking for something and so and we try to do it to our detractors, we we kind of run them. We will run the website, and so we try to have that available for them. Do they want to participate and again.

F

It's a reaching out to those on or the.

J

Committee, the commission, whatever the Commission and.

G

You know where did that information sender? That's a good point, because someone can actually go to organizations and associations and say you know the kind of education on the process, because a lot of wonders say how do I get to the part of that I would love to be a part of that committee.

L

G

Think that it would be a great idea for the city or the Commission for women to know cancer can represent the city to go and explain the process of how to get into these committees. I mean you have school district teachers that are.

F

G

Said are allowed to be on the board: I wasn't they're retired. They want to do something for the community and it would be really important to convey that to them and and not only them, but the whole population of women I think it's important that we do consider that somehow and take it.

G

Somebody needs to be able to communicate.

L

J

K

That marching, let's.

J

Get some sort of plan of.

F

G

Do try to access different organizations? You know is that, what's that a report.

L

G

Actually, keeping what the port number.

J

Five would be developed for the Hall of Fame for women the program and other and promote women during the Women's History Month in March.

J

F

Six seek assistance from City.

J

Council as needed to fulfill its charge, except for money, has.

F

H

So we'll keep that also.

J

And that could be part of we're requesting that you consider these propositions when you go forward to the legislature or local things that you want council to support. You know so we're good up to that point are equal three membership. The commission shall be composed of 18 members appointed and ratified by the mayor or City Council to each and two members. Each the commission, members she'll serve at the duration of the mayor or City Council members for City Council's elected term. The members of the Commission shall serve without paying but are entitled to travel expensive.

J

When representing the Commission know about that, members.

G

J

The section one members are: what do you have any concerns with that Commission.

G

J

B

I mean you were expecting 18 members that really complicates with the quorum all time.

I

Each council member got to you soon. Yes,.

J

F

J

One is the yes, the charter amendment is I think to.

J

That hug committee and said.

D

I was seized by the.

K

G

J

2008- and it was always to folks to two persons here- yeah.

G

J

Mean it affects the court, since we have opponents before.

F

I don't know if.

J

You all want to recommend one.

F

J

That could be something you guys can consider.

D

J

People then you'd have coordinates five yeah.

B

G

J

People in a tent here are from the same council man.

H

J

Person might only be able to appoint one right well.

D

You might ask one.

J

Of the other ones that one of their persons not going or two other persons are not.

O

Always to go, you.

J

A

Okay, good idea, you know one minute: I wasn't even good or one meaning.

M

Another serving, and then this in this commission, if you were with one council member and he's done his to his two terms, eight years, then.

J

M

Out and then another council person elects that same person, can they continue to do that? It's not mentioned on here.

J

It's not much of it here, so they can so.

M

They can know the.

J

Thing, that's happened, yes,.

E

But is it there a city ordinance saying you cannot continue.

J

That passage when I was I thought what we did that a long time ago and then I left and then the new councils come in and they changed it and I think it was recently discussed again and it wasn't approved really.

G

So, eight years, because we've been hearing that if you have eight years, that's your max you're done so.

O

You can be here.

J

Once you buddy, you know our material will go back and look and see that changed. My understanding pass didn't pass so.

J

Was trying to put the limit.

L

G

I know we had a little bit a long time ago in it, and then it went away. They didn't pass I think nobody there for a second and.

I

There's a jump for the Terms of Service in any particular project activity or community are not innovative.

G

J

We're at this point where the 18 yeah.

K

G

You don't want to change again.

K

This can be brought up anytime.

J

You want to make changes I'm, giving you these, so you guys can take them study them talk.

F

About a maybe next measure, so we do that.

J

Alone, section one is members expected to attend. Regular schedule needs what you want that infants.

B

J

Section two, depending members absent for more than two unexcused in consecutive.

D

J

You know it's irrelevant because.

L

J

To replace the person was going to tell you yeah.

G

L

G

Kidding ourselves, we need to put three.

F

We're gonna send them so this kind.

J

Of just for right now to make change them, we can discuss it again. Next meeting.

N

J

Then we'll have a final and then we'll move forward to present it to Council for their approval. Okay,.

F

J

Are just changes that were discussing right so section will make that changes that change to reflect to uh to refer to ordinance and the ordinance in city of 2018, then OH zero, five, zero and then section number three. Any other questions on that section. Number three is members are expected to participate in Commission projects, activities and committees. I know there hasn't been very many projects, and so hopefully, with the prior conversation of maybe projects to do and once council approves them once you know.

J

Maybe the next meeting will start discussing what type of projects to present to Council for their approval and then from there you can set up the committee's to participate in those projects and then everyone helps out and then I don't have them approved by council, and at that point you know, then you can start any project, but I think we can leave this here. I, don't think it affects anything negativity.

M

J

Four, the Terms of Service in any particular project activity or committee are not limited.

F

J

Saying is like okay bimonthly, this selection committee, for whatever project you're not going to be why you can be there all your life of the Commission allows you to. If not you know, king rotating, the different projects, I, don't know that makes sense. Does it talks about projects or activities.

M

Pretty much pick project, okay,.

G

Because we haven't done it so.

J

They want to leave this here or we don't.

M

Want to well, we be able to. Are you.

F

M

An action plan from this committee, some.

J

I

So that would be very helpful because you are even the thing is to have other activities related to the holo theme, like them, medium.

J

We're talking about creating new projects that don't need fun. Yes,.

B

J

Again like when we just discuss it with discuss about the next meeting and once we're ready, you know this idea, then we're ready to move it forward to Council for the consideration we'll do that at that point. Okay, number five is registration.

D

K

Are resignation.

F

J

Tempted to tendered.

F

J

That applies to every Commission I mean with somebody. Resins are supposed to send I guess the lady's honor that conveniently forty to me for our records just have to resign for whatever reason it.

F

Doesn't I don't think it affects.

J

Anything that's positive or negative, so we'll leave it there of the article for commissioned officer a nominating committee established a new lead provision of article 5, consisting of three commission members shall be appointed by the chair prior to the end of the correct term office term terms. The nominating committee shall submit recommendations for each officer.

K

J

Voted by the general membership members of the nominating committee are not eligible for the elected office. The ilanic changes in that.

J

F

Basically, what it's saying is.

J

That the chair will select the committee three. Those persons cannot love for office. Without my permission, that's.

G

D

Cool I think you.

G

D

Also, we should also allow people to be nominated off of the floor.

J

D

G

I I joined it I like I, know, where's I know I can see why you could say that well.

D

I'm just saying it because that's just sick, you want to run for an office and you're, not selected by the committee or the.

B

Designate a nomination I do know that somebody doesn't I'd.

G

Like I'd, like that, only because it we've had a mixture I'm, you people that just got here that weren't familiar with anything I want to be. This I want to be that everywhere, appointing them irresponsibly. I. Think that the committee would look at you know what is this person willing to work? How long is this person video? Is this person good, instead of just wanting to do it, for whatever reason I think they will have more credibility and then that person will be asked by the committee?

G

If you want to run and then that person says nothing, you move on to the other names. Okay,.

D

No reason why I say this is for this reason this is a city committee and if you look at it as that way- and you come in with your City Council member- there's no guarantee that you're gonna be here after four years. So if you're it, you should have new people coming in and out. The the fact that they're being appointed to the committee means that the city councilman wants them to participate. So just because it's they've been here a month, does it mean they're, not qualified? For me.

G

That they're not but once when I'm saying it, they're they're skipping the other person who is qualified because they beat it to the punch. We've had several things in the past that that have not been balanced in that area. If, if you have to you really wanted it and you're in the nominating committee- and there were simply no cetera established vision which you earned it you just didn't, get it, but I think we should be.

G

You should be how many nominated by the committee and not it'd, be out of random I wanted I wanted, because I think I'm qualified.

B

What is new here is, we need a comedy that Konami Nate I.

K

G

Like to make a comment, if I may.

K

G

Thatcher is there any bird that it says here that, let's say on seniority basis? Let's say you know just to be courteous to the people that have been here longer than all of us and they might want to serve your we give them priority. Also. Is there anything but.

D

If this is in a club.

L

And it's not about being there.

F

D

F

Honor, this should be.

D

Four years, if you're, with the City Council number, the fact that other people have been here- MoMA- that's great and that's probably giving them even more opportunities to participate in the committee. But I. Don't.

K

D

That you should not get nominations off of the floor of what you're going to elect, because we.

C

Want more momentum.

E

C

E

G

I'm just saying that is there any I'm just going back like did.

L

You say exactly but I understand.

G

We're a committee that we are just you know advisory devotes to this, but if we can see people that have been here longer I know I have been here.

B

G

B

Be a discretion of the.

O

You are four years for juror sitting up there. Remember that elect you and when you finish their four years again,.

O

E

A

E

Were go down to nine members. It'll be hard for a committee to.

F

Select three people out of the ninth: it.

E

Would be easier to get domination from those who wanted to serve as an officer right now at 18, yeah.

K

F

E

Pool for committee to pull from, but if you cut the committee in half then that the nominating committee is gonna, have very mmm you take out them, so that only leaves five people you can. Every from the will.

D

Say normally in any organization, you have a nominating committee, but you will always take no mess.

F

On the floor, that's.

L

F

D

I would say.

G

Because we're not.

J

Will create a committee of three people two.

G

We should not do this, we need you want it. Anybody want to do this.

J

One thing right now: this is what's in place until council.

F

F

J

J

A consideration.

F

And they can change it community, not only know what forget the meeting and just nominations.

J

A

It's up to Council at the another.

H

J

They know this is a witness, but we're gonna try to.

I

J

One is chair: the chair is elected by the members, and the person and presiding over the Commission meetings represents the Commission as.

K

J

Appoints special and standing committees and serves as ex officio member of.

G

All committees.

G

F

J

F

J

Two, the moisture or now have changed to chair-elect and chocolate is elected by the members and represents the chair in her absence, which is kind of contradictory to what we're saying right now, because.

F

If you're the chair leg, that would.

G

J

Represent the turn, the absence.

J

One is chair leg as a name the charlie is the elective, is elected by the members. All that means is like you're, the vice chair. They, like you as a vice chair and then.

N

And then represents the charge on their asses. Can we have it be like that? The way the mayor has it its mayor than the approaches be the.

J

Promotion to know I do know why.

E

I changed that I was here, that's when it changed, because the intention was for that person to move up to me.

J

E

Chairs position without election, but we don't want that's I, don't think the City Council doesn't allow that.

J

I'm gonna go for them to me to.

N

Make sure that they're illegal.

J

N

Go back for us to have it to vice chair.

G

N

Of chair allah, I.

G

Ii ii ii ii.

D

D

Okay, if you're seeing the chair-elect and I'm only bringing it up because it affects me, okay,.

J

D

I was broke when I was elected. I was told that I would be the incoming president as Chair Elect. Oh so now, you're saying this is how it stands right now and it's not gonna change. This.

J

E

I mean any changes are recommended.

J

J

F

J

Writing committee of three year the members that are appointed by the chair, to make recommendations as far as the office.

J

But it doesn't say that you become the chair.

E

G

D

D

Chairs up here.

J

J

E

After we do this.

F

So then we leave it alone.

J

Section four element area parliamentarian is elected by the members and assign and assess the Commission in parliamentary law. Momentary loss.

B

J

Section five terms of office: our elected officers shall serve a period of one year commencing October first elected officers may be reelected. You want to keep that to.

M

The same position, yes, you may have the same person run for two hundred years as chair, the.

J

Little process is right now aware: the processes of system, wonderful.

F

It is a commission, what's the chairperson, so.

J

It's three people. Those three are going to make recommendations and then the.

J

I

J

Committee chairs may be appointed by the chair or designated.

G

J

G

That there's no sense for the committee to this at me. I think.

I

Because envision.

F

O

Said: okay, you're gonna do this and then somebody else will like it. You.

F

L

O

Of a discussion and.

L

O

We're gonna take.

G

J

N

Or designated by the committee and rates remain, only committee chairs may be appointed by the chair, Kerry I.

H

F

The worst is water to.

H

N

A committee to.

J

The chairpersons gonna appoint all.

B

J

Resignation from an elected.

F

J

Position was being ready and presented at a regular meeting monthly meeting prior to the vacancy of the office, when possible. Replacement of the officer will be left to the discretion of the remaining officers, with the confirmation of the Commission.

J

For an expired term,.

L

M

That the remaining officers will say: okay, we'll pick this other.

L

Person is they serve for the.

F

J

Once until the next, let's say the three-quarter resigns, then it's up to the chair and the vice chair in the future will surely look right now parliamentarian to decide clothing and fit to be the report.

C

G

Until we have a next year or whatever so.

J

F

J

Okay, section eight, the commissioning they.

E

N

Other officers as a commission.

J

May deem necessary.

J

Create other positions, it.

I

J

Instead, we should offices, so somebody makes a motion I like to establish that we have a sergeant at arms position and seconded and.

F

Everybody votes yes,.

J

Okay, now there's that.

F

J

F

Not be in the bylaws, but it's.

J

Created position: okay, are we good with that? One right, article, five committees, special and standing committees may be created as needed to support the commission projects and activities. The chair may designate familiy members or the commission. Members may volunteer for the committee of their choice.

F

J

Then we're good with that one: okay, article six meetings: the Commission's show meet once a month all right at the call of the chair. The meeting will be held at the at a time and place designated by the chair.

I

President Xi there was a motion and please it exempted the city, secretaries office and I'm, not gonna, be your buttock, where ever it takes place, it's not the responsibility of the city secretary's office. You know what I fight that commission. We do it as a courtesy, because there were instances that we will get blamed for certain members on being present federal agents. Hunters do that every second Monday I may.

J

I

Who put it there well.

J

I wouldn't say every second I'm a masseuse. Well, no.

E

Matter a non-scheduled malini, yes,.

D

I would just say regular schedule and I would say that about the city secretary, not being responsible for notifying.

J

F

Commission right now, nearly one minute commission division to really take it over or.

J

Another department, it's.

F

Just a matter of removal and we're saying I want to be specific, where.

E

F

The Commission shall.

J

Meet once a month, but you just want the chair person to call cuz. Let's say you need to discuss some business secretary well,.

J

The way to do it is you have a scheduled meeting and in any for councilman plus, the mayor I think can call the special meeting its it takes. Five, that's a majority, so I don't know. If, if the you know something that needs to get done and you need a special meaning, you won't have an option where the majority of the members would like to.

D

Call a city requires that it, because this would happen with us in historic Network, for that you have to call a special meeting.

I

Is we have to try this? It was a nightmare trying to.

D

Talk to everyone, but you recall that the jury doing a meeting but like in our case, if we had to have a special called meeting to meet with community members that were presenting their case or whatever we wouldn't have to all vote.

G

J

Have all right now, until this blows me my.

G

Ass baby, it's an inconvenience to leave it. The way that we were doing it I see courtesy to see the secretary exalt that sense it email.

F

Your schedule for this.

K

J

Another community septic told us, like brands, only always mean I'm certain thing of the month and that's it so.

H

This doesn't of the courtesy, but.

J

The members are expected to be there.

E

F

Also, council has a.

J

Regular, we send out team, let us know: you're gonna show up.

N

The officers and all the other organizations that I'm at it's one of the officers that sends a reminder to everybody with the agenda.

F

J

J

D

D

The motion on the vice-chair.

F

J

The Commission shall make a complete report of its findings and committees and recommendations to the mayor and city council as needed.

D

They're required report at the end of the year.

J

That's a pie, I know that the ladies on use all the way that gives the city secretary a biannual report of who attended what issues were discussed. The minutes of every meeting. Do you have.

M

A template or something so that everyone can.

D

See because I think master you weren't able to complete it, because you have a lot of the minutes right and so.

I

That should be our.

D

Responsibility to happen, I ascended.

J

F

If we can just revisit the article.

J

B

J

Just to if someone would make a motion to eliminate the seven members of the summation show constitute in the.

N

I make the motion to remove this other members of the Commission and with the previous.

F

J

The Commission shall make the completed report of the findings, activities and recommendations to the mayor, City Council as needed.

J

Commission and committee board has to provide this by.

G

F

Provide so my question: is he had to tie what those young.

G

Ones were we, the Commission do be read before that was my question. The other president.

B

Did you do that before you I'm trying to weigh in.

G

D

They have to turn it in.

K

Provider she loses she. She makes.

D

The minions from us.

N

It does this because she's the one is doing.

G

J

It is not a selected by the city managers by city managers, she'll provide assistance to the Commission.

J

Changes to that.

D

We can't expect from this step what.

J

People Eagle made a a legal opinion as far as what the role of the relays on in every time.

E

N

That we include there shall provide assistance based on.

E

C

B

B

J

I'll bring you back what that is telling them that something.

F

J

Article number: nine finances: none.

J

Commission's to the city.

G

This is technically the same, and especially the Commission may also seek other sources of growl.

E

G

Than getting it from the City Council in the budget, but.

L

F

Was when we're doing the fundraising right.

J

Years later and I have an attorney opinion, basically stating the statute I, don't know there was already before the analogy.

K

To one for next meeting now, basically say it says.

L

J

Can't do that, it's illegal, and so again this was done a long time ago. Maybe.

N

Wasn't checked by legal.

A

G

J

Because you're asking the city.

F

J

Ten amendments section one the bylaws, may be amended a regular meeting of the Commission by two-thirds vote of the commission members present, provided that notice of any proposed amendments is sent to every Commission member 14 days prior to the meeting at which the vote is scheduled.

J

D

Whoever's here, but you do have to send it out 40 days.

J

Yeah we're changing these because again, they have to be approved by council, we're going to represent everything again to all the members at the next meeting, and then everybody says we're good with it then we'll presented probably December to the council for the consideration we.

D

Have enough time.

D

J

F

M

Projects there's no line or anything so, as you know, there's no guarantee of what our budget is going to be every year, but mid-year. If we come up with a project, can we request additional funds?

M

J

Me do this because I was an issue, the funding and then illegal has an issue with that. Let me clarify with this.

K

J

Let's see if they have any issues of their own and then open back that report to the Commission next week, because.

M

If we, if it happens to be on a year that we're going to have we pretty much use up what we've been allocated in once for the olive vein, but if, for whatever reason, we propose to re-emerge the the young woman's, so they at that, can you or something we need some additional funds? Can we go back in addition to what we've been given.

J

Well, I check in with legal I would think that you.

F

J

Request it from counsel I mean oh, it's up to them at the another day and II will tell you right there. No.

G

J

Yes, you can, for whatever the event.

G

So when they say counsel, if you're talking about.

J

A coastal city.

G

J

Your individual.

G

K

City council, City Council, yes, well,.

N

I was gonna. Add on that cuz I did talk to my City Council member, because there'd be something in the budget. I hadn't.

F

Been yeah I, don't.

N

Know what the amount was and all he told me was that that's not a problem that all we have to do is we go. We present what our idea is and they approve our idea. Then, from there we can say this is how much it's gonna cost, but we catch us. Then what number out there they want to see like this.

A

N

Was finally decide to go into it and go to the.

J

N

On the agenda directly.

J

After that Weston they always mentioned between management and some council members. They were saying, since the whole city was cutting back frankerz and in every department, and so this year we have put zero because we're only gonna do the hall of fame.

J

And so, while we were trying to look at and was recommended by them was let's see we can use one of the city facilities for.

F

L

You can't, unless meeting here into the the.

J

Max or when looking at the library the same thing meeting, but it just depends on how many people are gonna go. So if you are having a tendency for the five years of honies folks go to the Hall of Fame. So.

F

J

Can get a number see where they would fit and that's more feasible for the city.

J

Zero for 28:19, where.

F

Not only for four thousand is the accountants. My understanding.

K

J

What that will entail should be only for awards and food, and that's why we use like the max I'm talking to one of the UH mr. Matthew named Emma season, trying to visit I found out recently and so I asked him. What is it that what's the cost and it's a city function, city or commissioner and.

I

So he's taking that up for.

H

J

But he was asking how many.

D

I

For their commission him are, they gonna, have their Hall yearly basis or it's gonna be.

L

Every two years by.

O

I

Up something in the.

O

G

Should be every jewelry cutting these nature actually coming in from Donna yeah.

F

G

Every year is just a little bit, I mean in my opinions, but I think that's a group and we need to go ahead and both on that.

G

D

G

J

Because I was a chair.

H

F

H

Way cut down to every other, you know last year when we met with attorneys here and all of that we were told it was.

N

Leave it to where, as approved by City Council and if we get money from another.

K

J

We just have to say, as it were, City Council's.

N

Of Google, what.

J

Everything will be a spur City go away in there, along with this right now,.

G

We are going to be budgeting if you will and we're going to be at the discretion of the budget approval by City Council every year, and that just happened in it. Yeah.

F

G

And we have zero dollars officially 4,000 leftover. So if you obviously do the math 4,000 would not be enough, I mean the anything you can say: $10 a plate, $10 a plate and 40 people would be. You might be able to manage that. But the whole thing is is how can we not know in advance if they're going to a lot funding for the Hall of Fame for the incoming year? This.

J

Is how I think it should work from here on out? It should be what projects are.

G

F

We're the edge effect.

J

What projects are we doing? What's required funding wise? What will we need? Do you need to rent the room? Okay? Well, it uses the library effective area to the suit one of the bigger rooms that the.

K

J

Then you don't need to rent a room so that each project has to have a budget, and then remember this party's going to be approved by the council. Now council has the ability you're in the year to adjust your budget, the county. Doesn't it comes in? You know, they're under state state law, where our home rule, so we can adjust our budget as they go now, I'm, not saying that they will, but once they approve a project attached with the approval of the project, there has to be a budget with it, but.

K

You just can't.

C

J

C

G

That is not going businesses John, you don't plan on something and then hope your fingers crossed that Senior Council is going to do it after the fact. It should be before the fact it should be in in the budget he's you do. Four thousand you took in about twenty dollars a person. Okay, so then there's no there's definitely a Emma 200. Both is definitely no tablecloths and definitely nurture covers, and definitely no flowers and.

J

G

Which is good at no cost to us a help and then.

L

We're gonna focus only on the meals and you will make.

G

It for the trophies I mean, do they.

I

Really want us to do it, I mean it's. The actions I mean the actual.

J

Problem whatever you do, you have some place, it could be before the.

F

Button, if it's approved at the budget scrape, you have to have a number attached to it, what it's gonna cost and so.

O

Let's get to, let us double guys to do that.

H

O

Gonna need like 700,000 I, just.

G

Proved it that's all we wish today.

J

G

Have to recognize your.

M

Analyst look: who will we be able to reach out to to get access to all of our past financial records? I.

I

L

F

About Folgers every.

I

With everyone, I could send in an email.

F

I

I mean every single gender have touched. The budget.

E

M

Know you knew of general entries there.

I

M

J

I

J

Just want to know if you have an exit plan and.

J

Strengthen this tool.

G

J

Can throw it in there and when asked young one of us projects in the cut so much, you know this is what the money to be used for legal clears out. They presented.

F

G

J

G

Oh um I might I might be discussing. That's.

A

K

G

K

G

We were supposed to be doing was a Hall of Fame. How could we not have budgeted I? Obviously, it's a no-brainer.

N

G
