Davidson: to City Council or did that also include the Mayor? It would include Mayor. I was assuming the Mayor is a member of the City Council. Lathrop asked for a brief recess so he could chat with his former co-chair on the implication of this. Davidson called a five minute recess. RECESS MEETING RECONVENED Griffiths: Ms. Black asked me the two questions that she identified in her comments. I looked back in the Statute to verify that in fact the State law does provide that any formal action, board, any resolution, rule, regulation, ordinance, or formal action of the City Council will be invalid unless it's taken at a meeting which meets the Open Meeting requirements. The other clarification is with respect to maintaining minutes at Council meetings. State Statute requires that the City Clerk keep the minutes at Council meetings, which the City Clerk has been doing in great detail. Both of those would continue to apply to the City. Lathrop: In a brief chat with my co-chair, Liz Black, we really didn't feel that there was a compelling reason not to include your (Davidson's) suggestion of item Q. Davidson moved that Council adopt Ordinance No. 1079, Series 1992, with the following amendments: Adding item Q on page 6 under 2.80.030, Code of Ethics. Item Q to read "No member of the City Council shall at any time within their term or for two (2) years after their term of office be a City employee." Also, on page 13 at 2.90.050 A-2, add the words "or Mayor" after "administrator." On page 15, 2.90.090, item B, after the word "administrator" add the words "or Mayor" and then continuing "for information only." Seconded by Hornbostel. 19
