AD HOC OUTREACH COMMITTEE Committee Member Macias requested this matter be continued to allow Committee Members Foley and Nelson to participate in the discussion. Following discussion and without formal motion, the matter was continued. CHARTER REVIEW Chair Huerta requested comments on potential Charter amendments to be forwarded to the Charter Review Committee. She supports the current provisions for removal of board/ commission members for cause. Section 804 requires boards and commission to meet monthly. Chair Huerta noted that in some months there was no need for the Board of Ethics to convene and meetings have been canceled. Member House supports the current monthly meeting requirement at this time, as the Board of Ethics is relatively new. Member Tucker supports quarterly meetings with the option to meet more frequently if a need arises to meet complaint process deadlines. Member Macias noted that the provision applies to all boards and commissions and the Transportation Board has also canceled meetings due to a lack of agenda items. Chair Huerta suggested retaining the monthly meeting requirement along with the ability to cancel, if the need arose.
