Ms. Seto reviewed with commissioners the following outline of other amendments made to the Commissioners Handbook: Updates not related to meeting procedures: other amendments to the Commissioner's Handbook include: make City history more current; explain that councilmembers are elected by district and only the mayor is elected at-large; describe actual City structure of 12 departments; list all commissions and committees; reference that appointed officials must timely file Statements of Economic Interest; clarify that Economic Vitality Committee, Youth Commission and youth members of other commissions are exempt from Conflict of Interest disclosure requirements; add City Vision Statements and City Values Statement. Commissioner Chillinsky thanked Ms. Seto for the Updated Commissioner's Handbook details and indicated she found the cheat sheet helpful. Chairperson Galvin discussed the founding purpose of the Housing Commission as indicated in the previous Commissioner's Handbook. MATTERS INITIATED BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMISSION Chairperson Galvin commented on Chapter 2.8 of the Commissioner's Handbook that includes information on more education for commissioners. He felt this was important, especially for new commissioners, because the Housing Commission is quite complicated and suggested consideration be made to having a commission workshop so everyone can better understand what is required of them. Commissioner Kripalani questioned if Chairperson Galvin was suggesting commissioners participate in an orientation. Chairperson Galvin stated he would like the commission to receive an annual report on what inventory is being managed by staff. Mr. Hernandez indicated that prior to COVID staff did supply the commission an informational inventory report and was something they could again provide. Commissioner Renton agreed this would be a helpful learning tool. Ms. Clark commented on the constant changing of state rules but agreed that staff could provide a report that would help commissioners better understand what staff are working on. She indicated she would work with Mr. Hernandez on this. Chairperson Galvin felt it would assist the commission to learn about projects such as the one discussed under item 4 on the agenda for this meeting. A motion was made by Commissioner Renton, seconded by Commissioner Kripalani, requesting the Housing Commission be provided an annual inventory report put together at the discretion of staff.
