¸67 One of the parties involved in this matter came forward to protest as he didn't believe that the Council had the authority to take action at this time. The Brown Act specifies that any time an item is agendized that would result in action must be conspicuously posted 72 hours in advance of the meeting. This gentlemen said he had received a phone call at 2:45 today and has had no opportunity to review any of the materials the City has. He then requested that the matter not be placed on tonight's agenda but be continued. Mr. Mercer responded that 4/5 of the Council has to vote to get an item onto the agenda after the agenda is posted. The motion and vote that was just taken places that item on the agenda. At the time this issue is dealt with the speaker can then request continuation. 4. CONSENT CALENDAR Peggy Purnell, 2472 Via De Los Melagros, requested that Item 4A under the Consent Calendar be removed so that the minutes can be amended. At the last City Council Meeting on October 1, 1991 Rebecca Dennis submitted a letter that expressed concerns about a possible conflict of interest involving Chris Meidl serving as the chairperson and public spokesperson for the Parks and Recreation Subcommittee while being employed by the law firm that represents Amador Land and Cattle. Ms. Dennis also read other letters that voiced objections to Mr. Meidl. Ms. Purnell requested that the names, addresses and objections of these other parties be made part of the minutes. The Council agreed that the minutes should be amended to so reflect. Councilmember Scribner requested the minutes be amended at page 8 to indicate in detail what the adopted staff recommendation was. She further indicated that motions in future minutes should set out the specific Council action not just a reference to staff recommendation. She felt that anyone reading minutes should be able to determine what Council action was without having to refer to a staff report. Mr. Robert Cordtz, 262 W. Angela, requested that Item 4H be removed from the Consent Calendar in order that it be discussed in greater detail. After reviewing the proposal concerning the awarding of the contract and joint venture agreement with DSRSD for a new City well, he wanted a number of comments of his to be addressed. Mayor Mercer asked Mr. Elliott if it was urgent that this issue be passed tonight or could it be continued. Mr. Elliott responded that it is rather important that this be moved upon as quickly as possible, but that he would be willing to respond to all of Mr. Cordtz's questions. 10-15-91 3
