Maintenance District (LLMD), a random means of selecting the minimum number of Council Members needed to participate in a decision was to have them "draw straws." This process allows an official to participate in decisions where it is not possible to constitute a quorum out of officials who do not have potential conflicts of interest and there are no alternative means of reaching a decision. City Attorney Tilford explained that since four of the seven Council Members are needed to create a quorum, it was necessary to reconstitute the other three which would not be allowed to remain at the dais or in the room while the decision on the item is made. The process resulted in Mayor Zamora remaining present for Item No. 5, while Council Members Bennett, Toro, and Perez left the dais due to a conflict of interest. Motion and second by CM Yzaguirre/MPT Gonzales, to approve Consent Calendar Item No. 5, as presented. Motion carried with Council Members Bennett, Toro, and Perez absent. Council Members Bennett, Toro, and Perez returned to the dais following the vote.
