Item 6f School District/City LiaiSOn Committee Ms. Ayala said the School District and the City have a Liaison Committee that meets monthly. She gave a brief background of the Committee's functions and indicated that she and Ms. Michelotti have been reappointed for the next year. The School Board has requested that its members be rotated on a monthly basis. Ms. Ayaia felt the membership should be consistent. The Committee meets at 7:30 a.m. and she feels considerable time would be spent updating the rotating members each month. Her request is to have Council send a letter to the School Board asking the Board to reconsider its decision to rotate members on a monthly basis. Ms. Acosta clarified that the City and the School Board members in the past have rotated members annually. Now the School Board is proposing to change its members monthly. She also mentioned that with this rotation the Brown Act could be violated inadvertently by a serial meeting. Ms. Michelotti mentioned her concern that the proposed rotation could cause some inconsistency. She stated that she had discussed the matter with luanita Haugen, Board President, and had suggested perhaps rotating school board members every six months if it is their desire to have more members participate. She reminded evryone that the two boards do meet two or more times per year. It was moved by Ms. Ayala, and seconded by Ms. Dennis, to direct staff to prepare a letter to be signed by the Vice Mayor requesting the School Board to reconsider its decision to rotate members on the Liaison Committee monthly. 7. MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL Ms. Michelotti requested periodic reports from Council representatives on Boards and Committees activities.
