Clarification of Conflicting Information
To:
From:
Subject:
Date: September 27,2001
At the September 25th Community Affairs Committee (CAC) Meeting, there was some conflicting
information given by the Administration (City Clerk) and the Legal Department. Commissioner
Garcia asked the question, if he could vote on a motion before the CAC even though he is not a
board member.
Attached are two resolutions, No. 97-22607 and No, 98-22693, that established and amended the
Commission Committee. Resolution No, 97-22607 paragraph 2 reads as follows:
1.
t
Each Committee shall have fiva (8) three (3)
members who shall be comprised of members of
the City Commission selected by the Mayor;
provided however that the Mayor may serve as
one of the three (3) members of any Committee.
NotwithstandinQ the foreQoinQ, any member of
the City Commission may be present, participate
and yote on anv issue before a particular
Committee. In the eyent that one or more of the
three (3) members comprisinQ a specific
Committee are not present at a Committee
meetinQ, any other member of members of the
City Commission present at the meetinQ any
serve as an alternate member or members for
