AA: Go ahead, Bob. RD: A public policy question. The Corporation Counsel has said that the Commission is in fact a County agency. Quite frankly, Abraham, I think we need to look at Office of Information practices that has Sunshine Laws that helps Commissioners understand their role in front of the public. What the Commissioners who may have needs of why the Commission needs to meet other than it’s always met and they may be very legitimate, however, the jurisdiction and mandate of the Commission is separate from the that of the Administration and I think we need to delve into this with the Office of Information Practices, because in looking at it per cursorily it looked like what they were saying is our duties to the public and we have to do our best effort to be in front of the public so the public can know and the public can attend and the public can have their opinions understood. And, um, that’s my look at it – so that’s basically – I think we need to look into this a little deeper. SW: I’m sorry, um, Deputy Corporation Counsel, Sylvia Wan, ah, this is for District – 1, Mr. Duerr, if you have questions regarding the rules and responsibilities as well as the jurisdiction of the Commission you can speak to me about it – that is my role – is to help inform and educate Commissioners as to that, um, I said “agency” probably in artfully, you are a Commission of the County and you fall under the County, um, I can provide you with an organizational chart so that you can see where exactly that falls within the county, um, if that’s where your question lies. But otherwise, if you have more specific questions, it would appear that it’s better fitted… RD: To be in writing. I’ll put that in writing… SW: Yeah, either an executive meeting or between you and I personally as your – as the attorney for the Commission. AA: Abraham – District 5. So it sounds like maybe next meeting let’s set up an executive meeting in regards to, ah, I guess what we went over last Friday, this past Friday, cause that sounds like along the same lines as what Robert’s asking, right? SW: Yes, um, if the Commission wanted to do that now it could enter executive session, um, it would require a motion and 2/3rds vote but I’m not sure if Barbara is prepared to enter that and turn a Zoom into… AA: Yeah, that’s why I’m saying let’s move it to… SW: ….and executive session. AA: So let’s move it to next – we have other things that we need to get on to… So let’s schedule that to next month’s agenda to have an executive meeting and, then, you can cover all the Commissioners and not just Robert because I know some of the other ones gonna have questions later on so we’ll just cover all bases, OK? SW: OK. Letter to Mayor Roth for approval of GMAC’s “Out Doors Day” event 19
