Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, March 11, 2024 <br /> Page 19 <br /> structure could be. He appreciates the feedback in terms of that as well. He <br /> suggested this item be on the agenda for the next HRIEC meeting to have that <br /> conversation about what has been talked about at this meeting and provide <br /> reflection and feedback to the Council for subsequent discussion. Mayor Roe <br /> indicated speaking for himself, he does try to follow all of the minutes of the <br /> meetings and to watch the videos as well. <br /> Councilmember Groff asked how the Council feels about attending HRIEC <br /> meetings. <br /> Mayor Roe thought if there are three or more Councilmembers at the meeting,there <br /> needs to be separation without any conversations. He did not know if that was <br /> prohibited or not, but the meeting could be posted as well. He explained he does <br /> not try to influence meetings he attends and is very conscious of that. <br /> Councilmember Strahan indicated she has encountered that as well and has <br /> absented herself from being at the meetings so that her presence does not impact on <br /> the meeting. She noted the Council is following and knows what is going on in the <br /> Commissions but certainly could know more. <br /> Councilmember Etten agreed with Mayor Roe that where the Commission goes <br /> after April is an important topic. He indicated this would not be a long-term plan, <br /> but he wondered where the Council was at for its own next steps. <br /> Councilmember Strahan felt like the Council has been asked if it is encouraging <br /> this group to continue meeting as an entity since as of April 1, the Commission is <br /> no longer in the City Code as one of its groups. <br /> Mayor Roe indicated the Commission is still in the City Code and that has not <br /> changed. <br /> Councilmember Strahan asked if the Commission continues with five members <br /> going forward while the Council continues to assess. <br /> Councilmember Etten thought that was correct. <br /> Mayor Roe concurred and hoped that all of the work done on the workplan so far <br /> does not go away. Hopefully, there is a way to not get active in doing a lot of it, <br /> necessarily,just if there is a sense that may or may not match with where things <br /> have been going in this conversation. He certainly wants to be respectful of the <br /> Commissioners' time and efforts too in the sense that if there is something the <br /> Commission is not sure the Council is on board with, maybe that is not an area to <br /> focus on. If there are other areas that seem more in line with what the Council has <br /> been talking about, then he did not want to discourage people from being involved <br /> in those. <br />
