MAYOR AND COUNCIL ORAL REPORTS AND COMMENTS Council Members announced various activities throughout the community. CITY TREASURER'S REPORTS None. CONSENT CALENDAR Before the Consent Calendar was presented, Mayor Zamora explained the rule of necessity process and the reason that are only four (4) council members present this evening. Mayor Zamora explained that as was mentioned at our last council meeting on August 16th, it is no longer necessary to use the `Yule of necessity" process on any of the three (3) items this evening. On May 10th of 2010, the process was used when the Redevelopment Agency entered into a Professional Services Agreement with Urban Futures, Inc. to prepare an amendment/merger of the City's redevelopment plans or project areas. The `Yule of necessity" allows officials 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 is no alternative means of reaching a decision. Since using that process, two of the "conflicted" council members (Chastain and DeLaRosa) are no longer on the City Council, and they have been replaced by myself and Council Member Gonzales, and neither of us appears to have a potential conflict of interest. Thus, since there are now four (4) Council Members (Zamora, Gonzales, Toro and Perez) without apparent conflicts of interest, only these four (4) will participate on these matters tonight. 2011 SEPT 20 REG CC/RDA/CUA/CPFA/CHA MEETING -2-
