Ordinance Text: The city received two legal opinions relative to the text of the <br />proposed amendment that questioned the clarity of the wording. As a result, the <br />council directed the city attorney to redraft the language for clarity for consideration by <br />the charter commission. The commission rejected the new language developed by the <br />city attorney and chose to keep the wording as they originally proposed. The <br />ordinance containing the text of the amendment is attached. <br />Implementation Questions: The council has asked for more information on both the <br />cost and logistics of implementing the amendment. Information is attached that <br />outlines three options for televising: utilizing the council chambers for all meetings; <br />rearranging the council chambers for certain meetings; or utilizing remote recording <br />equipment for meeting rooms other than the council chambers. <br />Since Metro Cable has indicated that they have a public access camcorder that they <br />would loan to the city, staff proposes to conduct a test by recording a meeting in the <br />community room. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
