City Council Announcements
February 19, 2008
A. Information Needed by Council Staff
1. The City’s financial advisor is conducting a “Bonds 101” session with members of the Administration and would like to know if any Council Members are interested. The meeting would likely be at the end of February or early March.
Are Council Members interested in attending this session?
Council Members JT Martin and Luke Garrott were interested.
2. Both Jill and JT will be gone on March 11th
Would the Council be ok having a meeting on March 13th or the 25th instead? (That would mean having the RDA meeting on another date in March)
Council Members were in favor of the meeting being held on March 13, 2008
3. Security/Decorum in City Council Chamber
Attached are two items titled Decorum in the City Council Chamber and Citizen Comments to the City Council. Council Members probably have seen copies of the items in the last couple of weeks, and the Chair and Vice Chair have approved the language of the two items.
After the two items were written Council staff met with Jeff Bedard about ideas to make the City Council Chamber (Room 315) more secure while maintaining a fairly relaxed atmosphere where people feel comfortable coming to speak about issues. Council staff listed the suggestions below for the Chair and Vice Chair, and they apparently were supportive of most of the issues. Staff is listing them again to see if Council Members may wish to comment on the proposals or make any suggestions.
If the City Council concurs with the Chair and Vice Chair, staff would like to have the items titled Decorum in the City Council Chamber and Citizen Comments to the City Council read at the pertinent section of each City Council meeting – with any additions from the list below. That plus other security suggestions could be implemented in March, depending on City Council direction.
Generally, the Council Chamber, and the City & County Building, have remained open to the public, and security measures have not been intrusive because it is the public’s building and because City Councils have made an effort to maintain the Chamber as a place where residents and others feel comfortable speaking to issues that concern them.
Suggestions
If anyone has any handouts, pamphlets or brochures, that person could give them to City Council staff when they give Council staff personnel the yellow speaking cards.
If anyone brings a backpack or a bag larger than a purse into the City Council Chamber, that person would be required to open the pack or bag before crossing the doorway so police and security can look into the pack or bag.
If anyone has a piece of equipment that is integral to a presentation to the City Council, the person would be asked to clear it with City Council staff 24 hours in advance of the presentation. (The Chair and Vice Chair have suggested that instead of having Council staff clear an item 24 hours in advance of a presentation, security personnel could clear an item the day of the presentation.)
Councilmember Garrott said screening should be done at the door.
Any time the City Council expected a large crowd for an event to let him know either the Friday or the Monday before the meeting, so he can arrange to have another officer present.
The Chair and Vice Chair also suggested that staff should advertise any new security policies on the City Council website.
Staff also should add a couple of bullet points to the yellow comment cards when they are redesigned and add signage to the doors of the Committee of the Whole Room and the City Council Chamber.
Councilmember Jergensen suggested asking Tim Rodriguez, Risk Management Specialist to talk about what to do in a security incident. Ed Rutan said he would check to see if there was a closed session provision for security measures. Councilmember Martin said the issue should be on the Council’s agenda and the Council should be pro-active.
