Recommendation to request City Attorney to draft an amendment to Ordinance No. C-7814, which describes the requirements for service on the Belmont Shore Parking and Business Improvement Area Advisory Commission.
We're going to go ahead and move on to number. 15. Communication from Councilwoman Price. Recommendation to request City Attorney to draft an amendment to ordinance number c7814, which describes the requirements for service on the Belmont Shore Parking and Business Improvement Area Advisory Commission. Can I get a motion in motion in a second? Councilman Price. Thank you. This is just a cleanup item. We're just changing the residential requirement to be in at large as opposed to a resident from any particular organization. Thanks. Any public comment on this? Mr.. Here, please come down. Larry, could you click as the address, as I suggested to counsel in the Council of Advisors office that. This item be held over pending a review by the city auditor. I have attended a number of the meetings and certainly the commission does a credible job. But. It never struck me until somebody pointed out. At a different hearing. The inherent conflict of interests that now exist. And we need to make sure that does not exist. We have. Members that are residents. Members that are property owners, business owners. But we have a situation where we have. One is a landlord and the other is a tenant. Other the landlord. So that raises the red flag to. Any form of equity. I.e. You've got to vote this way or your rents going up. So I think to make for the integrity of the process. Let's first. See what the city auditor finds and get some direction out of the city attorney's office. So the. Cloud of hankie. Panky does not exist. I think. And I think that would best serve. Not only the business businesses there, but the residents and the city as a whole. It's just a question of ethics and that I don't know why. No one's ever caught that before, but that's certainly not a terrible situation. And waiting a couple of weeks to examine the facts is not going to rock the boat rushing into it. Ignoring that fact would not speak well for this city council. Thank you. Thank you. Members, please cast your vote.
