Councilor Brown said the individual in question also missed events and subcommittee meetings that were <br />attended by other commissioners. It was not merely a question of missing two meetings. <br /> <br />Councilor Poling said he had considerable respect for HRC Chair Linda Hamilton but the letter that was <br />sent was not informative and lacked transparency. <br /> <br />Councilor Pryor agreed that a significant part of the problem was the lack of full communication about the <br />rationale for removing the commissioner in question. He understood the concern about attendance but said <br />that removing a person from a commission should not be done capriciously. He did not have enough <br />information about the situation to make a judgment at this time. <br /> <br />Councilor Ortiz noted her long-time membership on the commission and noted that there was no precedent <br />in her memory, as persons who did not attend were encouraged to resign. She did not know why that <br />approach was not taken, but if the chair of the commission was making the request she was happy to <br />support the motion. However, she did not perceive the votes were in place. <br /> <br />Councilor Pryor left the meeting. <br /> <br />City Manager Ruiz recommended that the council postpone action until June 28. <br /> <br />Councilor Clark, seconded by Councilor Taylor, moved to postpone action until June 28. <br />Roll call vote; the motion passed unanimously, 7:0. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy adjourned the meeting at 9:35 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Beth Forrest <br />City Recorder <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—Eugene City Council June 14, 2010 Page 10 <br /> Regular Meeting <br />
