BUSINESS ITEMS City Attorney Derleth gave a brief overview of the Rule of Necessity process and the reasons for the three (3) Council Members being absent from this meeting. He explained that due to the subject of this item being the Redevelopment Project Area, it was necessary to implement the Rule of Necessity at their council meeting on May 10, 2010. 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. A random means of selecting the minimum number of Council Members needed to participate in a decision was to have them all "draw straws" at that meeting. City Attorney Derleth 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. Also explained at the May 10, 2010 council meeting, was that the same four members would remain as the voting members needed to constitute a quorum in order to vote on this item throughout the entire project and that it would not be necessary to go through the same process each time the item was discussed.
