A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO PREPARE
ACTION MINUTES FOR CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS
IN LIEU OF COMPREHENSIVE SUMMARY MINUTES
WHEREAS, the City Clerk's Office currently prepares comprehensive summary minutes
of City Council meetings, which are intended to summarize both the discussion that occurred
relative to each agenda item (both public and Council), as well as actions that Council takes;
and
WHEREAS, in 2008, the City began streaming video feeds of City Council meetings on
the Internet, as well as providing an interactive platform that allows viewers to jump to specific
agenda items to watch what occurred during the meeting, supplying links to the staff reports that
were prepared and submitted on each item, and maintaining an archival of past meeting videos;
and
WHEREAS, the City has the capability of uploading Shirtsleeve Session audio
recordings after the meeting for public access; and
WHEREAS, as a result of this technology, the production of comprehensive summary
minutes is now redundant, and in a survey conducted among California city clerks, the vast
majority responded they provide action or summary -action minutes; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to utilize the City Clerk's time more effectively and efficiently,
and in keeping with common practice among California city clerks, it is recommended that
City Council minutes be reformatted from comprehensive summary minutes to action minutes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Lodi City Council that the City Clerk be
directed to prepare action minutes for City Council meetings in lieu of comprehensive summary
minutes, beginning with the first meeting in January 2018.
