City Attorney Derleth announced that due to the conflict by Mayor Chastain, Council members Oliva, De La Rosa, Yzaguirre and Bennett, the Rule of Necessity would be applied to tonight's council meeting. He further explained that the "rule of necessity" 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 the decision must be used to select the "conflicted" Council members who will participate. Typically the City Clerk is asked to have the Council members select slips of paper marked secretly in some way to indicate who will be allowed to participate. The process that will be used will consist of the drawing of pieces of paper from a bowl that will be passed around by the City Clerk. A total of five pieces of paper will be placed in a bowl with two pieces marked by stars. Those Council members that pull/draw the papers marked with a star will be the two who will remain at the dais, in order to vote on the item requiring the quorum. City Attorney Derleth explained that the item on the agenda was regarding the proposed amendment merger of seven project areas, five of the seven council members either own or have an interest in properties within 500 feet of any of the projects, and in accordance with the FPPC there is a potential Conflict of Interest whenever an elected official owns property within 2010 MAY 10 SPC CC/RDA/CUA MEETING - 1 -
