REPORT: | Assistant County Attorney Jess McCarty read the foregoing proposed resolution into the record. Commissioner Martinez questioned the feasibility of the Committee instructing the Commission Auditor to include his legislative analysis as an attachment to each agenda item; and whether this proposed resolution would provide the Commission with a significant number of analyses, notwithstanding the exempted items in Section 2. Mr. Charles Anderson, Commission Auditor, noted the requirement in Section 1 was feasible, and this proposed resolution would have a significant impact, notwithstanding the exemptions. Commissioner Gimenez requested this proposed resolution be amended to require the legislative analysis prepared by the Commission Auditor to include the date he received the agenda item from the County Administration. Commissioner Jordan pointed out the title to an agenda item sometimes appeared on the agenda, however, the agenda package was not provided until the last minute. Commissioner Gimenez noted the County Commission needed to take appropriate steps to ensure the Office of the Commission Auditor acquired the institutional knowledge needed to be prepared for comprehensive changes in the County Administration in the event a new mayor was elected. Hearing no other questions or comments, the Committee proceeded to vote on this proposed resolution as amended to require the legislative analysis prepared by the Commission Auditor to include the date that the Commission Auditor received the agenda item from the County Administration. | ||||||
