.... ........ <br />MEMORANDUM <br />a i _ o A: Edward -T—C-noper. <br />[." <br />.-sent W -. - -- �� <br />Stibj � - - - I - - - - <br />-- - <br />In response to your memo of September 25, 1985, we are <br />providing you with excerpts from McQuillan, Muniei al Corpo- <br />rations, <br />or - <br />rations, as it relates to record keeping. <br />Charter Section 702 requires you to keep an "accurate <br />journal of council roceed i res" and requires the recording <br />of votes in any final action, <br />As stated in McQuillan, § 14.03, the record need not <br />reflect informal discussions or offhand conversations. <br />The purpose of the 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. session is to <br />engage in informal discussion where action is not to be taken, <br />If you are directed by the Council to simply record the topics <br />being informally discussed, then you have fulfilled your <br />charter duties. I, by chance, a vote is taken during the <br />informal discussions, then your journal should reflect the <br />vote on the issue, If such a record is not kept of the votes, <br />then the record would be insufficient as to that action and <br />it would probably not be binding. <br />Please advise if we may answer further questions. <br />WiaCoop r <br />City <br />EJC: ad <br />cc: Mayor & Councilme hers <br />Robert Bob <br />
