Description
3.14 Governance Committee
A
Well,
welcome
to
the
the
governance
committee
and
we
are
mostly
remote
today,
so.
B
A
Committee
meeting
we
are
mostly
on
zoom,
and
so
we
will
not
be
taking
any
actions
today.
A
A
B
A
The
rules,
the
city
council,
rules
of
procedure
and
we're
going
to
do
a
line
by
line
review.
B
A
screen
share:
what's
your
preference
either
way
I
have
them
up.
I
can
screen
share
or.
C
C
A
work
session
of
the
council,
so
we
decided
that
legally,
we
shouldn't
have.
C
D
With
this
bar
whoever's,
cheering
from
the
meeting
from
asking
counselors
how
they
feel.
D
About
a
certain
project
or
proposal,
no,
I
think
we
can
have
discussion.
We
just
can't
vote.
C
This
would
limit
discussion
at
all.
Let
me
ask
suzanne
about
that,
so
I
think
you
are
fine
to.
B
B
B
B
C
Rules
on
having
in
a
quorum
setting
have
a
polling
in
the
council,
where
you
can't.
C
We,
where
you
shouldn't,
be
voting
on
an
action
so,
and
so
just
we
don't
want
to
cross
that.
C
Out
that
one
line
to
still
express
their
views
and
ask
questions
during
a
work
session:
okay,
okay,.
A
Why
don't
you
continue,
then?
Okay,
the
next
council
rule
that
I
was
looking
at.
C
C
It
leaves
the
first
section,
as
is
the
second
session
section
in
conversation
with
legal.
C
A
practice
that
we've
followed
for
years,
but
then
there
are
questions
around
okay,
so.
C
C
Is
there
any,
is
there
any
authority
to
object?
Therefore,
are
you
removing
the
authority
of
other.
C
C
C
C
Rule
14
yes,
and
that
squares
with
roberts
it
does
it
does.
According
to
bob,
he
thought
that.
C
Rules
and
I'll
be
attorney
bob
sullivan,
the
city
attorney.
So
I
think
that
this
is.
D
C
If
someone
needs
to
leave
briefly
choose
the
restroom
during
a
meeting,
so
you
request
for
the.
C
C
Rule
21
complex
of
interest.
There
was
a
question
around
whether
or
not.
C
And
in
that
conversation
we
determined
that
there
there
are
additional
provisions.
C
In
the
city
charter
and
ethics
ordinance,
I
put
this
note
in
here
for
our
reference.
C
Leave
a
note
like
this
in
the
rules
if
we
would
like,
but
it
doesn't
change
rule
21.
A
Excuse
me:
would
it
be
reasonable
to
cite
the
where,
in
the
ordinance
that
is.
C
C
You
have
a
foreseeable
expenditure.
You
should
have
a
two-thirds
vote
of
the
council
so
that.
C
D
Yeah
counselor
cook-
I
I
read
this
and
is
it
I
think
the
intent.
D
D
C
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
highlight
this
here
for
me:
I
think
that
yeah,
this
would
be
even
a
higher.
C
D
B
Meant
in
this
context,
for
example,
certainly
there
were
a
number
of
instances.
B
B
C
Maybe
exceed
total
appropriations
in
the
city
budget.
I
don't
know
that
we
want
that
either.
B
Yeah
I'm
trying
to
noodle
this
out.
What
would
why
don't
you
just
mark
that
and.
D
And
the
level
of
spending
involved
in
that
that
we
don't
we
don't
direct
the
city
manager.
A
Was
that
there
were
the
potential
for
legal
fees,
whereas
we
didn't
have,
according
to.
A
And
so,
therefore,
we
had
the
discussion
of
unanticipated
expenses
or
and
anticipated
expenses.
A
Definite
anticipated
and
how
you
I
don't
know
how
you're
doing,
wouldn't
you
wouldn't.
D
We
needed
a
supplemental
appropriation
for
that
which
we
then
wrote
in
and-
and
here
we've.
B
B
B
How
to
get
at
the
the
concern
that
arose
at
the
time
the
action.
B
Tries
to
thread
the
needle
here
because
it
is
a
yeah.
It's
a
challenging
one
to
to
do
because.
B
D
C
On
our
next
meeting,
okay
with
this
and
any
other
changes
to
the
rules,
I
think
the
next.
C
One
we
can
probably
cover
pretty
quickly
and
it's
not.
I
don't
think
it's
something
that.
C
Counselor
chamber
probably
feels
the
need
to
weigh
in
on
rule
34.
This
was
a
clarification.
C
We
had
said
include
including
work
sessions
and
executive
sessions.
Executive
sessions
are.
C
C
In
the
rules
that
are
confusing
needs
to
be
clarified,
because
the
rules
should
be
understood.
C
Members
to
address
the
council
with
them
with
just
a
majority
vote
members
of
the
public.
C
C
Last
meeting
about
leaving
it,
as
is,
I
spoke
with
the
city
city
attorney
about
this
as
well.
C
Just
a
majority
vote
instead
of
a
suspension
of
the
rules,
I
think
that's
great
yep.
C
Those
that
I
had
more
significant
changes
in
this
public
comment
session,
section.
C
Change
in
section
a
is
really
a
reflection
on
the
change
in
section
b,
the
only
change
to.
C
C
C
C
C
Whether
it
be
public
dialogue
or
public
comment,
but
not
have
both
at
one
meeting
of
the
council.
C
Then
I
altered
section
b
to
say
that
public
dialogue
would
be
a
session
before
the
regular.
C
Other
time
any
other
noticed
public
meeting,
so
it
doesn't
have
to
be
necessarily
a
city.
C
C
So
we
clarified
who
should
participate
in
the
public
dialogue
by
saying
that
the
mayor
shall.
C
C
C
It's
reasonable
to
say
that
you
participate
in
at
least
one
in
a
year,
but
more
than
that,
I.
C
So
that's
kind
of
where
I
landed.
I
would
love
to
have
some
discussion
around
this.
D
A
couple
of
thoughts:
well,
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
if
the
council,
when.
D
D
D
The
2017
council
did
alternate,
and
one
of
the
features
they
had
was
that.
A
I
guess
my
my
thought
was
that
I
liked
the
idea
of
it.
C
I
I
think
that
it's
reasonable
to
not
have
it.
C
Because
I
think
that
this
is
this
is
an
area
where
it
depends
on
the
council.
Different
councils.
C
C
Public
dialogue
can
occur
at
other
times
before
any
noticed
meeting
and
and
then
in
that
case,.
C
This
time
you
know
through
the
year
and
so
that
we
make
sure
we
have
a
public
dialogue
for.
C
D
B
B
But
those
pieces
are
in
the
works
to
make
that
happen
as
someone
you
know
who
participated
now.
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
Prior
week
or
the
prior
two
weeks
out
in
in
a
neighborhood
or,
however,
you
decide
to
unfold
that.
B
D
The
point
of
view,
a
key
public
comment,
sacrament
and
public
dialogue-
is
something
we
had.
C
I
think
that's
entirely
reasonable.
Yes,
I
think
the
goal
was
more
to
increase
discussion,
not.
C
Decrease
discussion
here
so
if
there
is
any
concern
around.
C
I'm
I'm
happy
to
take
that
out
and
leave
it
as
is
and
and
then
be
in
a
situation
where
we.
C
C
And
providing
us
their
opinions
at
public
comment,
giving
them
a
different
type
of
forum
for
that.
A
C
I
think
that
this,
the
section
on
public
dialogue
does
capture
what
we've
been
discussing
here.
C
To
agenda
in
a
second
the
last
one
is
rule
47.
C
In
both
places,
at
least
that's
what
I
found
when
I
was
researching
advertisements
for.
B
C
We
do
because
we
usually
receive
them
in
the
board
packet,
but
but
clearly
we
don't
for
committees.
B
C
A
That
rule
to
include
the
website-
I
don't
know
whether
I
mean
if
you
I
can
go
back.
If
you
I'm.
A
I
think
I
think
in
that,
whatever
rule
that
was,
we
talked
about
emphasizing
the
fact
that.
A
It
means
also
through
the
web
page.
Yes,
I
I
believe
we
we
did
clarify
that
this
year.
C
And
that
currently
is
the
practice,
but
I
will
double
check
with
the
city.
C
C
I
think
that's
a
reasonable
question
and
I
don't
immediately
see
where
that
clarification.
B
D
Indium
it
would
put,
but
it
can't
do
it
alone.
We
need
the
electronic
dissemination
too.
C
Okay,
so
I
will
report
back
the
last
one
I
wanted
to
cover
is
rule
seven.
I
I've
been.
C
Working
to
try
to
find
a
way
to
streamline
the
order
of
business
just
to
tighten
up
our
son.
C
And
time-wise-
and
this
is
just
a
suggestion-
but
one
of
the
suggestions
that
I
thought.
C
C
C
B
So
this
is
the
the
one
I
looked
at
and
said:
oh,
this
could
be
tricky
and
it's
as
someone
who.
B
Works
on
putting
together
an
agenda
and
trying
to.
B
D
I
had
some
of
the
same
reaction.
You
know,
I
thought
I
think,
how
you
and
and.
D
A
dedicated
agenda
item
for
city
manager
items
here
straight
about
service
city.
D
Get
into
some
council
items
have
to
extend
a
meeting
or
have
a
meeting
break
into
two
parts.
D
D
To
get
decisions
and
making
that
a
regular,
clearly
delineated
part
of
the
meeting
I
think,
has.
C
So
what
I'm
hearing
is
concern
about
the
differences
in
action
items
if
they
come
before.
C
C
C
Business
rather
than
putting
us
in
a
situation
where
we
only
bring
forward
issues
that
should.
C
Be
addressed
or
that
we're
really
interested
in
having
addressed
so
I
was
trying
to
limit
that.
C
C
C
Individual
items
in
the
consent
agenda,
which,
fortunately,
we
did
at
our
last
council
session,.
C
B
B
And
you
know
I
was
the
note
keeper
and
here's
what
we
learned
and
then
maybe
the
action
items
is.
B
C
Action
items
that
the
council
needs
to
address
versus
what
are
reports.
C
Here
you
could
also
have
city
council,
informational
items,
it's
reasonable
to
have.
C
And
then
we
have
the
report
backs.
We
change
recognitions,
volunteer
committee
reports.
C
C
D
But
I
can
think
of
five
four
councils
in
makeup
or
eight
one
councils,
where
you
know
oftentimes.
D
The
the
counselors
representing
the
four
have
people
who
really
have
items
that.
D
They
want
brought
to
the
city,
the
full
city
council,
and
it
serves
a
valuable
purpose.
C
C
To
counselor
lombardi,
thank
you
counselor
cook.
The
next
item
is
the
ethics
process.
A
Counselor
taber
and
I
met
with
attorney,
sullivan
and
reviewed
the
whole
ethics
process
and.
D
Last
time-
and
I
could
just
go
through
them
quickly,
one
by
one
can
is
it
possible
to
put.
C
C
D
I
just
have
to
I'm
working
by
phone
here,
so
I
mean
our
first
major
item
was.
D
D
D
A
neutral
third
party
investigator
would
then,
who
would
who
would
stand
by
appointment
of.
D
The
mayor,
through
the
mayor's
term
and
he
be
on
tap
and
would
have
the
requisite
background,
would.
D
Board
and
then
the
board
would
weigh
that
and
and
make
their
finding
and
the
ethics
commission.
D
D
Could
call
the
complainant
or
the
defendant,
but
it
would
relieve
the
person
making
the
complaint.
D
The
governing
body,
if
it's
one
of
the
boards
or
commissions
and
they
have
to
decide
the
action.
D
A
They
they
could
really
do
the
work
of
of
defining
the
ethics
problem
and
or.
C
Hey
can
I
wanted
to
note
for
the
committee
that
I
noticed
that
esther
kennedy
is
on
the
call.
C
This
week,
I'm
not,
I
don't
know
if
she
wants
to
participate.
I
would
note
that
last.
C
That,
if
esther
does
want
to
participate
in
adding
her
views,
I
think
it
would
be.
A
E
Ann
walker
and
mr
richard
gamester,
and
so
I
guess
I
just
decided
to
jump
on
today
because.
E
E
E
E
I
do
believe
that
there
are
a
lot
of
problems
with
the
process.
One
of
the
other
problems
was
that.
E
E
Control
over
that
there
was
no
ramification.
My
only
option
was
to
go
to
higher
courts.
E
And
I
do
think
that
there
should
be
qualities
and
qualifications
and
decisions
on
who
should
be.
E
At
the
last
minute,
because
of
getting
a
five
five
o'clock
phone
call
that
she
was
5.
E
So
I
think,
there's
a
lot
to
the
process.
I
also
think
that
I
was
told
by
one
of
the.
E
E
E
Their
story
changed
during
our
during
the
ethics
board
regation.
So
technically
I
could,
if.
E
E
E
Can
be
upheld,
the
one
thing
we
need
to
be
real,
clear
of
is
that
you,
this
is
just
a
support
board.
E
Actually,
the
council
vote
means
more
to
the
courts,
because
they're
elected
and.
E
I
think
that
you
need
to
decide
what
everyone's
role
is.
You
cannot
have
people.
A
And
it's
would
be
on
retainer
by
the
city
to
then
take
over
the.
A
E
Mayor
and
legal,
the
person
that
makes
the
original
decision
well,
that's
right.
F
Hello
can,
can
you
hear
me
who
is
this
bishop?
This
is
arthur,
clow
and,
and
I
had
submitted
two.
F
Ethics,
complaints
relatively
the
same
time
as
nancy
pearsons
and,
first
of
all,
the
city
attorney.
F
F
I
was
as
much
a
participant
and-
and
I
I
reject
nancy
pearson's
idea-
that.
F
F
Etc,
and
had
I
been
able
to
be
heard,
I
would
have
presented
my
case
that
what
I've
heard.
F
Forward
nancy
pearson
had
people
coaching
her
in
the
room
and
the
a
blind
eye
was
turned.
F
F
F
Ended
up
using
the
service,
the
services
with
his
non-profit
for
the
for
the
new
hampshire
pop-up.
F
You've
got
to
assure
that
people
get
their
due
process
in
for.
F
Emotional
and
difficult
time-consuming,
and
it
can
be
heartbreaking
to
know
that.
F
It's
a
political
process.
I
think
that
what
was
done
to
to
councilor
kennedy.
F
He
wasn't
listened
to.
Counselor
kennedy
is,
is
not
as
astute
at
doing
presentations
over
zoom.
F
Somebody
else
write
up
ethics
complaint
goes
goes
against
everything
and,
by
the
way
I
agree
with.
F
F
F
This
was
just
a
political
witch-hunt,
very
disappointing
and
we're
fortunate
that
councillor.
A
I
I
guess
we
are
looking
at
the
whole
ordinance
and-
and
I
and
I
appreciate.
A
Your
comments-
this
is
this-
is
just
the
first
draft
of
what
we've.
A
D
Knows
I
only
invited
the
committee
to
attend
that
session
after
a
discussion
with
the.
C
The
deputy
city
manager
who's
there
today,
I
decided
just
to
invite
the
committee
members.
C
C
Rehashing
what
occurred
during
that
process
and
I
decided
to
hold
off
on
that
and
nancy
pearson.
D
So
we
really
did
try
to
get
as
much
due
process
as
we
could.
You
know
the
issues
about
who
was
in.
D
D
I
thought
we
did
get
pretty
full
full
and
fair
testimony.
We
did
our
best
to
do
that.
D
I
think
that
the
third
party,
independent
investigator,
would
enable
a
lot
of
facts
to.
D
Be
gathered
in
a
neutral
way:
favoring,
neither
the
complainant
nor
the
defendant,
but
to
gather.
E
Can
I
make
this
a
point
of
clarification?
Okay,
the
clarification
point
is
counselor.
E
Okay,
so
the
first
time
that
was
less
than
24
hours
well
right
at
the
24
hour,
three.
E
D
Right
but
your
points
well
taken
your
points
well
taken
there
shouldn't.
There
should
be
enough.
F
Yeah
and
and
I
think
that
the
idea
of
having
somebody
who
is
trained
in
ethics.
F
And
people
sending
messages
with
with
the
the
complainant
sitting
behind
a
screen.
F
It
would
have
been
misconduct
during
by
the
person
making
the
complaint.
F
Would
be
a
mistrial
if
not
an
acquittal
dismissal
with
prejudice,
so
I
think
we
do
need
that.
F
Multiple
levels,
drug
checks,
credit
checks,
every
time
that
I
I
get
a
job
I
have
so
I
ethics.
D
A
G
Feature
huda,
280,
south
street-
I
don't
know
if
I'm
on,
I
guess
the
first
thing
I
don't
know.
G
Where
you
are
in
your
meeting,
if
you
are
through
your
action
items-
and
I
didn't
think
you
were.
G
G
I
mean
basically,
the
best
process
is
to
get
input
from
both
sides
at
the
same
time,
so.
G
That
was
very
disappointing
and
I
guess
that
the
next
thing
I
would
ask
by
the
proposals
you're.
G
Putting
forward
here
who's
gonna
pay
for
this
in
listening
to
councillor
pearson
former.
G
Councillor
pearson,
last
time
it
was
like
the
the
public
was
going
to
pay
for
this.
G
G
G
Review
the
charter
on
the
on
that
on
that
count
also,
I
guess
I
would
like
to
make
some
comments.
G
On
the
rule,
changes
that
were
suggested
today-
and
I
left
my
paper-
can
we
finish
with.
A
Let's
see
do
do
we
want
to
go
into
that
at
this
point,
I
guess
we're
in
the
middle
of
the
ethics.
A
Discussion
right
now-
and
maybe
we
can
do
that
at
public
comment.
Okay,
so.
D
D
And
he
ultimately
said
any
council
could
if
there
were
a
requirement
like
that.
A
B
So
just
a
a
couple
of
points
so,
first
off
I
can
confirm
what
counselor
cook.
B
B
B
B
Often
would
we
engage
in
ombudsman
if
we,
if
this
is
the
path
that
the
city
council
chooses
to.
B
B
Some
action,
that's
again,
my
first
thought,
subject
to
you,
know
continuing
to
take.
B
B
B
Know
they
want
more
time
to
to
prepare,
so
maybe
some
flexibility
with
regard
to
that
aspect.
E
A
C
An
ethics
complaint
even
reaches
the
mayor
for
determination
that
there
be
some
outside.
C
C
It
is
something
to
consider
if
we're
paying
an
outside
an
ombudsman
or
to
review
a
process
there.
C
Information
gathering
process,
but
I
I'd
like
where
this
is
going.
I
like
kind
of
this
direction.
C
C
Solution,
I
think
that
it
would
be
a
much
more
fair
process.
Thank
you
and
I.
A
Okay,
well,
thank
you,
everyone
for
their
participation,
in
that
this.
A
Of
legal
responsibility
from
state
to
state
statute,
to
you
know,
city
ordinance,.
A
And
I'm
not
sure
where
this
this
is
going,
but
I
know
I
brought
that
up
and
just
in
wondering.
A
Responding
for
the
council-
and
I
I
that
was
a
legal
question,
so
I
guess
I
will
present
that.
B
As
an
individual
counselor,
you
know
it's
my
view
that
you
know
that'll
be
enough.
I
think.
A
A
Right,
correct,
correct,
correct
just
because
of
that.
Yes,
we
don't
want
email
conversations
among
a.
B
C
Would
be
valuable
information
for
new
council
orientation
and
also
for
volunteer
orientation.
C
A
All
right
priorities
for
next
meeting
is
our
next
item
on
the
agenda.
I
I
presume
that.
C
I
think
it's
also
a
goal
to
hopefully
we'll
have
the
rules.
At
least
the
majority
of
the
rules.
C
A
All
right
public
comment-
and
I
know
petra
had
wanted
to.
May
I
yes,
please.
G
And
says:
write
to
all
the
counsel
that
they
are
made
aware
that
the
city
manager
and
clerks.
G
I
wanna,
if
I
may,
give
you
some
feedback
on
what
happened
in
the
rules
discussions.
One
thing
on.
G
On
the
discussion
of
the
order
of
business
rule
seven,
I
think
one
of
the
big
things.
G
G
What
the
city
manager
as
the
administrative
head
of
the
city,
is
bringing
forward,
so
I
would.
G
I
would
ask
you
to
consider
and
think
about
the
governing
body
being
separated
from.
G
The
duties
that
are
required
of
the
city
manager
from
that
point,
when
you're
discussing
that.
G
There
and
how
appropriations
work,
who
can
move
appropriations
and
though
the
one
thing
that.
G
G
The
request
was
made
in
prior
council
on
this
by
councillor
lazenby
numerous
times
and
when.
G
G
Accounting
rules
also,
so
I
think
that's
something
that
needs
to
be
needs
to
be
said
here.
G
Addressed
by
the
public,
I'm
glad
you
left
that
left
that
alone
number
41.
G
That
was
good
in
your
discussion
on
rule
43,
the
comment
session
and
the
public
dialogue.
G
Is
to
make
all
of
the
public
input
and
all
of
the.
G
G
The
the
statement
I'd
just
like
to
make
about
the
the
discussion
on
just
making
three
counselors.
G
G
With
when
you,
when,
when
a
resident
comes
and
has
a
an
issue,
they
they
like
to
have
the.
G
I
guess
that
you
would
say
the
most
knowledgeable
counselors
in
attendance,
so
they
could.
G
There
representing
the
governing
body,
so
that
would
be
that
would
be
a
concern
of
mine,
also.
G
And
I
think
that
would
be
it.
The
only
other
question
or
concern
I
would
have
is.
G
Business
and
then
it
comes
down
to
your
rules
of
order
and
your
policies.
G
So
that's
all
I
have
to
say
about
that
I'd.
I
also
like
to
address
the
the
subject
of.
G
Non-Public
meetings
and
non-meetings
in
in
our
session
we
had
mr
spain,
we
had
mr
lassenby
and.
G
Or
we
were
having
a
non-meeting,
the
meeting
of
222
of
the
council.
G
Timing
of
motions
put
forward
the
example
would
be
during
during
the
point
in
time
where
the.
G
G
That
motion
was
not
on
the
agenda.
You
were
not
in
a
section
where
motions
were
being
made.
G
Go
in
the
back
and
take
a
recess
and
come
out
with
a
emotion
here
with
the
amendments.
A
D
First,
thank
you.
I
wanna
call
for
the
time.
H
Your
work
on
these
important
issues
and
I
want
to
share
a
little
bit
of
my
thoughts
on
ethics.
H
Decision
makers
on
ethics-
this
is
historic.
This
is
not
new
and
when
I
was
in
the
council
and.
H
I
brought
this
up.
I
shared
with
then
city
manager,
john
bohenko,
the
name
of
even
a
company.
H
And
I
I
really
think
that
the
way
this
whole
thing
is
run
is
flawed.
I
want
to
thank.
H
H
H
So
it's
out
of
sight
out
of
mind
so
when
those
notes
come
from
from
when
the
city
clerk
is.
H
Raising
their
voices
to
silence
people,
you
know,
so
it's
a
different
there.
There
are
pluses
to.
H
It
I
agree
there
are
people
who
feel
more,
you
know
at
home
if
they
are
not
in
front
of
a
camera.
A
And
so
I
I
appreciate
your
comments
and.
A
And
I
appreciate
everyone's
input.
We
have
important
issues
here
and-
and
I
do
appreciate.
A
And
I
think
we
all
appreciate
the
comments
that
people
have
made.
We
have
some
other
business.
A
But
as
I
say,
I
think
we
need
to
move
that
to
our
next
meeting.
So
if
I
can
get
a
motion,
I.
