City Council <br />Emergency Meeting Minutes <br />March 16, 2020 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />Mayor Pro Tem Maloney moved to approve Resolution No. 26 as originally written with <br />the one staff suggestion; Councilmember Lipton seconded the motion. <br />Councilmember Dickinson stated that this rule notes quasi-judicial items would not be <br />handled by electronic meeting and asked how quasi-judicial matters could be handled if <br />the emergency goes on for an extended time. <br />Mayor Stolzmann stated she thinks having quasi-judicial hearings electronically could <br />leave the City open to liability claims. She suggested changes can be made at a later <br />date if needed, but for now not having quasi-judicial hearings electronically makes sense. <br />Attorney Kelly stated staff is working on a way to address this if the emergency continues <br />for an extended time. She stated staff is working to find a way to meet constitutional due <br />process requirements for all parties if we have to continue to meet electronically. She <br />hopes to have suggestions for that at a later date. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Maloney agrees with Councilmember Dickinson that this is important, but <br />don’t want to make changes from the dais without further discussion. <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION – CITY COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULE MARCH <br />31 – APRIL 30 <br />Muth stated staff is asking the Council to look at the upcoming meeting schedule to <br />determine how it wants to proceed with that schedule given current circumstances. The <br />only requirement is that Council meets twice each month, other than that Council can set <br />the meeting schedule as it feel appropriate. <br />Mayor Stolzmann suggested the Council cancel the March 31 meetings and address the <br />April 7 meeting as it gets closer. <br />Councilmember Dickinson would to go ahead with the March 31 meeting as he feels <br />some of those items are time–sensitive. <br />Councilmember Lipton stated if Council is doing meetings electronically we should try to <br />have as many items as we can to keep current, including executive sessions. <br />Mayor Pro Tem Maloney suggested postponing the dinner meetings scheduled for April <br />but keep the rest as much as we can. <br />Members agreed to that proposal. <br />COUNCIL COMMENTS, COMMITTEE REPORTS, AND IDENTIFICATION OF FUTURE <br />AGENDA ITEMS
