City Attorney have some time to draw <br />up how "cause" would be defined. <br /> <br />Howard felt that, if this was to be tabled, Council needed to give <br />Griffiths direction on what they would consider "cause." An <br />example of what Howard would consider cause for dismissing a board <br />member would be not attending a certain number of meetings, not <br />excusing themselves for ethical reasons, or any kind of ethical <br />misconduct. <br /> <br />Hornbostel asked if the local licensing authority would be covered <br />by the Ethics Ordinance. <br /> <br />Griffiths: <br /> <br />Yes, they would. <br /> <br />Sisk stated that it wasn't his desire to see this tabled. He <br />didn't see why Council should have any different authority with the <br />liquor licensing authority than they did with the Planning <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Lathrop stated that the reason he seconded it was because he felt <br />that there needs to be a statement as to why someone is being <br />removed. <br /> <br />Hedding did not want to see this tabled. <br /> <br />Howard suggested" .... can be removed for cause, as stated by the <br />Council." <br /> <br />Griffiths: <br /> <br />As I understand the proposal, it <br />would be to strike the words" .... or <br />without .... " in 5.08.080-D, and <br />after the word .... "cause" put "as <br />stated by they Council." <br /> <br />Sisk moved that Council approve the amendment to the ordinance <br />" .... may remove any member of the Authority with specified reasons <br />given for said removal." Mayer seconded. <br /> <br />Griffiths suggested Hornbostel open the public hearing and allow <br />anyone in the audience who wishes to comment on the ordinance, <br />including the amendment to the ordinance. <br /> <br />Hornbostel opened the public hearing asking for anyone in the <br />audience wishing to speak in favor or against the amendment to the <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />NONE <br /> <br />Hornbostel closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Ail in favor with Davidson being absent. <br /> <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />
