Regular City Council Meeting Monday, November 26, 2007 Page 2 Mr. Venters respectfully requested that Councilmembers research passage of such an ordinance. Mayor Klausing noted that this request was out of the ordinary process for con- sidering action; noting that an advisory commission would typically make a recommendation to their staff liaison, with staff research, and then a recommen- dation through staff to the City Council. Mayor Klausing noted that the advan- tage of this process would be for staff to provide the City Council with suffi- cient research on intended and potentially unintended consequences (i.e., is mu- nicipal law pre-empted by any state regulations; what research has the HRC or staff done to-date). Mayor Klausing asked that the HRC, as a body, discuss their recommendation with City Manager Malinen. Councilmember Ihlan sought additional information, as part of the HRC's dis- cussion with staff, on how the California law could be adapted to municipal code. 4.
