CITIZEN COMMENTS <br />Jan Adams, 7150 Cambridge Ave <br />Ms. Adams identified herself as a new member on the Civil Service Board. She had <br />a question of the Council concerning who she would address from the City about <br />any legal matters she as a member of the commission might have. <br />Mr. Price and Mayor Adams suggested that any legal questions should be handled <br />by the Chair of the commission. Ms. Adams stated that because the commission <br />had not met for a long time, there was no clear member that could be identified as <br />the Chair. Ms. Ricci stated that in the Municipal Code, Chapter/Section 2.12.020 <br />stated “The City Counselor shall have charge of all litigation in which the City is a <br />part; represent the City in all legal matters and proceedings in which the City is a <br />party or interested, or in which any of its officers are parties in their official capacity; <br />advise the City Council or any committee or member thereof, and the heads of all <br />departments, and all other officers and agencies of the City as to all legal questions <br />affecting the City’s interest; and approve as to form all ordinances, contracts, deeds, <br />bonds, and any other documents to be signed in the name of, or made to or with, the <br />City.” She stated that Ms. Adams had the authority to contact the City Attorney, but <br />since the attorney present at the Civil Service Board was Special Counsel, it was not <br />clear as it was not approved by the Council.

Mayor Adams disagreed with Ms. Ricci’s interpretation. Mayor <br />Adams told Ms. Adams to forward her letter to the staff and they would give her <br />disposition as to what is happening. Ms. Ricci wanted the City Clerk to record for <br />the record that 2.12.020 specifically states that a member of a commission has the <br /> <br />
