ATTENDANCE
Council President Derek Dieter serving as chair of the Council Rules committee urged
Councilmember's to make an extra effort to attend scheduled meetings. Of late an
inordinate number of committees have been unable to make recommendations to full
Council for lack of a quorum. Councilmember Rouse asked for clarification. Did the
President mean committee quorums or Committee of Whole attendance? Derek
explained he was referring more to separate committee meetings, Rouse felt work
schedule conflicts precluded some Councilmember's from being at some meetings.
Dieter simply asked everyone to be mindful of attendance urging a call to the Clerk's
Office when a conflict arises.. Varner speculated that later meeting start times would be
better. Dieter suggested meeting in the County-City Building start no earlier than 4:00.
Off-site no earlier than 5:00. He also suggested scheduling committee meetings on the 1St
and 3ra Mondays of the month.
RELEASE OF INFORMATION
President Dieter reminded all Councilmember's to adhere to the confidentiality rule as it
pertained to executive sessions or political caucus meetings. Of late, there have been
leaks of information to the media that were supposed to be kept in confidence.
Following brief conversation and nothing further to come before the Committee at this
time, President Dieter adjourned the meeting at 3:33 p.m.
Res ectfully btn ted,
Derek D. Dieter, President
Rules Committee
