DATE: April 19, 2021
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Approve Draft Minutes of the April 6, 2021 Regular Town Council Meeting
REMARKS:
The Town received three public comments proposing amendments to the April 6, 2021 regular
Town Council meeting minutes. Two of the comments are requests to improve the accuracy of
their public comments and one is a request to add comments from a Guest Panelist.
Attachment 1 contains public comments received between 11:01 a.m., Thursday, April 15 and
11:00 a.m. Tuesday, April 20.
DISCUSSION:
As action minutes, details of the Council and Guest Panelist comments are not documented as
the public has access to the video of the entire proceeding. Action style minutes are meant to
capture what was decided, not what was said. Circumstances in which amendments to the
minutes are warranted include improved accuracy and documenting Council direction
previously not captured.
Council may approve, modify, or reject the proposed amendments in one motion or address
each individual proposed amendment.
Proposed Amendment #1 in red font (Page 6):
Lee Fagot
- Requested the Town allocate all the remaining unallocated funds from the staff proposal,
approximately $2 Million, for the full rent relief in Town owned property for non-profits
listed in the staff report and to provide additional funding for additional senior services and
the needed maintenance/repairs to the Adult Recreation Center building.
PAGE 2 OF 2 SUBJECT: Approve Draft Minutes of the April 6, 2021 Regular Town Council Meeting DATE: April 20, 2021
Proposed Amendment #2 in red font (Page 9):
Lee Quintana
- Commented about concerns with that the item should going back to the Policy Committee
rather than involving an independent committee that doesn’t include participation from the
public or Chamber, and that she had raised her hand before public comment was closed on
item nine and she was disappointed that she was not allowed to speak.
Proposed Amendment #3:
Add Rabbi Aron’s sentiment in response to verbal comments.
Staff does not recommend adding the response but if Council would like it included in the
minutes, then staff would suggest also including the summary comments of the other Guest
Panelists.
CONCLUSION:
Approve amendments #1 and #2 to the April 6, 2021 regular Town Council meeting minutes.
