City Council Meeting Minutes March 15, 2016 Page 16 of 17 Mayor Pro Tem Lipton felt he had heard the word search was important and the written minutes could be shorter and supplemented by the video. Council member Stolzmann thought if minutes were scaled back, it would be helpful to have a link to the meeting minutes for the Historic Preservation Commission or the Planning Commission. Mayor Muckle asked if both could be done. The answer was yes. City Attorney Light wanted to confirm the direction from Council on the link to the Planning Commission or HPC video in a quasi - judicial hearing and what the evidence would be before Council. Right now there are code provisions that would need to be changed to reflect the minutes could consist of the video of the meeting. Public Relations Manager Muth noted if Council was not ready to move forward with video minutes, the HPC and Planning Commission minutes would remain the same. Council gave staff direction to continue with written minutes for but shorten them somewhat and continue to have video available as well. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT City Attorney Light noted the purchase of the parking lot parcel from DELO Plaza Development has been completed. He noted he had sent an Open Records request to Council members and asked them to respond. COUNCIL COMMENTS, COMMITTEE REPORTS, AND IDENTIFICATION OF FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Council member Stolzmann gave an update on the eco -pass feasibility study on County issues including measuring support for a tax for a Pass program. Countywide it did not get the support so it was determined it was not ready for the ballot. Boulder and Lafayette may ask voters this fall to give a local pass. She wondered if there was interest in Louisville joining in proposing a Louisville /Lafayette joint pass sometime in the future. Council member Leh received a question about whether it was possible for a Council attendee to cede their time to someone else and can a public member bring in a presentation. City Attorney Light noted the agenda related material should be included in the packet due to the charter issue stating all agenda related material should be available 72 hours prior to the meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Lipton cautioned having the public drive the agenda.
