Councilmember Troxell called the meeting to order at 4:13 pm.
Adoption of the minutes from the October 14, 2014 meeting were moved for
approval by Councilmember Cunniff and seconded by Councilmember Troxell.
Minutes were adopted without amendment.
The group continued discussion of the 2015 Legislative Policy Agenda.
Councilmembers reviewed and made modifications to sections on High
Performing Government, Community and Neighborhood Livability, Safe
Community and Transportation. Councilmembers asked that Dan circulate the
modified draft to staff liaisons and to Council-appointed Boards and Commissions
for their comment. The Council consideration of the Policy Agenda will occur on
November 18.
Councilmember Cunniff sought to clarify whether a resolution would be offered
for Council to comment on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Dan said that a
resolution commenting on policies important to the Council would be the best
way to comment. LRC discussed the topic and directed staff to seek additional
information about the status of the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the fast-track
authorization bill that would accompany the trade deal. A decision on advancing a
resolution would be made with more information.
LRC discussed whether a meeting, as scheduled, on November 4 was necessary.
LRC decided to cancel the November 4 meeting and not hold another meeting
before the December 5 Legislative Breakfast at Lincoln Center. The meetings for
2015 have been scheduled and added to Councilmembers’ calendars.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:25 pm.
