a. Study Committee Protocols

Committees with up to seven members can meet immediately without triggering public meeting laws. There is no need for public notice. Should similar amendments merge, the sponsors and cosponsors all are merged into 1 up to 7. The Chair of the surviving proposal would be Chair. Unanimous amendments get higher priority only during schedule constraints requiring prioritization.

Legal Opinions: Prosecuting attorney provides privileged opinions to committees, restricting discussion to committee members only. Committee and Executive Committee can not discuss privileged opinions outside of committee. At some point the Prosecuting Attorney may determine it is no longer privileged. Once amendments exit committee, legal opinions become public and are discussed openly.

Committees must submit a standardized report within two weeks to track amendment progress. The detailed policy report will be posted online for public understanding of amendment status.

b. Second Reading of Proposed Charter Amendments

Adjourned at 7:30 pm
