It has been a while. Didn’t have much past months. But would like to schedule meeting at least once a quarter to see what is going on in the city. Next meeting will add additional duties such as a review of lobbying documents. 2. CHAIR’S COMMENTS – If I can offer encouragement or advise in terms of commissi on being relevant. During first term of mine there were several cases or allegations that were brought forward and we were busy for a while but once they were resolved, it was quite a bit of period that we did not meet at all. So, if there are other things that we could collectively do, let’s get those things on our plate so we can be relevant and take a look at the documentation with the lobbyin g ordinance. It is great as long as it gives the commission something to sink its teeth into, keep busy, active and relevant, and it has an impact. 3. COMMISSIONERS’/BOARD MEMBERS’ COMMENTS – Esquer – No complaints coming in. Guerrero – agrees with everything and would like to meet at least once a quarter to keep up with city. ADJOURNMENT: Meeting adjourned at 6:21 p.m. The next regular meeting will be on June 20, 2018. ____________________________________ Marisa Aguayo, Legal Secretary
