10f. New Law Election Seminar Report
B
Marin
council,
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
I
attended
the
new
elections,
the
City
Clerk's
new
law
and
election
seminar.
This
year,
I
actually
served
on
the
planning
committee
to
plan
the
event,
and
there
were
a
lot
of
subjects
that
were
presented
there.
The
first
thing
I'd
like
to
share
with
you.
There
was
really
a
lot
of
new
faces.
B
Our
first
session
dealt
with
transparency
and
in
your
recent
issue
of
western
city,
they
have
an
article
on
tools
for
enhancing
transparency
and
the
importance
of
transparency.
It
makes
government
operations
clearly
visible
to
residents
and
is
essential
to
their
ability
to
understand
and
participate
in
the
decision-making
processes
that
affects
them.
We
spent
a
half
a
day
on
that
we
discussed
the
Brown
Act
and
shared
best
practices.
B
A
group
san
mateo
that
included
vanja
rose,
who
worked
for
us
for
a
little
while
gave
us
an
overview
of
project
management,
an
exploration
of
approaches
to
creating
effective
business
cases
needed
for
project
funding.
The
first
half
of
our
second
day
dealt
with
elections
and
new
law
of
digs
presented
by
this
really
neat
guest
speaker.
Who
is
the
registrar
of
voters
in
orange
county
and
every
year.
B
B
She
said
she
was
trying
to
make
rules
fair,
clearer
and
easier
to
comply
with
and
to
focus
on
the
worst
offenders
rather
than
on
those
who
make
minor
mistakes.
She
was
very
dynamic
and
likeable,
and
it
was
good
because
that
was
lunch
hour.
Then
we
got
to
listen
for
three
hours
to
all
the
changes
through
the
FPPC
issues,
conflicts
of
interest,
give
regulations,
the
intricacies
of
successor,
agencies
and
oversight
boards
and
the
last
day
was
just
a
presentation
by
a
lady
who
was
a
motivational
speaker.
So
it
was
good
and
I.
Thank
you.
