I <br /> I Finally, the City Council discussed "appointments of members, terms of office, and removal" <br /> under Chapter 2.03.02 of the City Code. It was pointed out that only the removal discussed <br /> under Chapter 2.03.02 included "absences" and no other method of removal is mentioned in the <br /> I City Code. In August 1997, the City Council adopted a.Code.of Conduct, which governs the <br /> conduct of City employees, including elected officials, union, on-union, supervisory, non- <br /> supervisory, managerial, full-time,part-time, temporary employees, and members of City boards <br /> I <br /> and commissions. While employees have methods and processes for termination and removal, <br /> there are no such rules that govern the conduct of boards and commission members. <br /> IIt was pointed out that a Planning Commission member and Town Center Task Force <br /> Commission member had written a Letter to the Editorwhich was in clear violation of the Code <br /> of Conduct. It was the consensus of the Council to include a removal clause in Chapter 2 of the <br /> ICity Code which would call for removal of Board or Commission members for cause if a <br /> violation took place of the Code of Conduct. <br /> IStaff was directed to draft changes to the Board and Commission policies, as well as Chapter 2 <br /> of the City Code as discussed, which would allow for removal for Board or Commission <br /> Imembers. <br /> 4) Council Work Session & Committee Meetings <br /> g <br /> IAt the close of the Council meeting on November 14, 2000, the City.Council directed staff to <br /> schedule work sessions be televised. At a subsequent Council meeting of November 2000, <br /> I Committees were included as direction tostaff to have televised. It appears the City Council will <br /> be appointing committees that are less than the quorum and will no longer be requiring <br /> cablecasting; the issue of Council work sessions require Council action for changes to take place. <br /> IStaff requested direction regarding the continuation of the cablecasting of Council work sessions. <br /> Staff was directed to draft a motion to rescind the Council action of November 14, 2000, and <br /> I develop a Council work session cablecast update program for implementation in January 2003. <br /> A suggestion that the work session cablecast update program would include the City <br /> Administrator and a Councilmember and that the program would be used for education purposes <br /> Iof Ramsey residents. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> IThe Council Work Session adjourned at 8:30 p.m. <br /> IRespectfully submitted, <br /> 414.1114‘ ' <br /> fAll. _ <br /> j(// L <br /> Jame.
