Thanks! Maybe the way to handle "late additions" is simply to date stamp postings, changes, etc. regardless of when the item or back-up document is posted within the preliminary agenda. I am envisioning a document that looks like a word document with tracked changes (ie the way attorneys review red line version of documents). The more I think about it, it seems that the "preliminary agenda" should be called "draft agenda for xyz meeting date" instead of "preliminary agenda." Seems it would be a whole lot less confusing to be referring to agendas by meeting date. Then an agenda is either in final state or it is in draft form. As long as it is draft form, people need to know it is a work in progress with additions, changes and deletions happening on an ongoing basis until is marked as "final." The phrase "late addition" would only apply to a final agenda just like we do with changes, corrections, withdrawals and postponements; none of these phrases would apply to draft agendas since drafts are changing on an ongoing basis. From: Nathan, Mark To: Martinez, Mike [Council Member]; ' >: Shade, Randi; ' > Cc: Leffingwell, Lee; ' ' > Sent: Tue Nov 10 18:50:47 2009 Subject: /RS-Attached here is the draft of the item we've discussed. We'd like to put this on for 11/19, and announce it publicly on Thursday. This has been vetted by Legal and their only objection to what we originally drafted was denoting items added after the publication of the preliminary agenda as "late additions. They believes this requirement implies that the draft preliminary agenda is a version of a formal posting under the Open Meetings Act, which they are concerned about. For discussion. Maybe we can come up with another way to do it. Please review and let me know if you are OK to proceed with a Thursday announcement (I'll write a press release and include draft quotes from you both), and posting for next week. FYI, we've already briefed the other CMs about it. Thanks, MN.

Perhaps amendment language on the dais? I'm behind schedule, hoping to get something out on this later today. Don't think TV will get it or be interested, but In Fact, AAS and Chron will.

This thing is sort of confusing anyway, so all the more reason to have it done right pre-dais One other suggestions is that you think less like a press secretary on this one and more like a council aide:-) Randi Shade Austin City Council Council Member Place 3 (512) 974-2255 (phone) (512) 974-1888 (fax) http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/council/shade.htm From: Nathan, Mark Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 1:45 PM To: Shade, Randi; Martinez, Mike [Council Member]; t' Cc: Leffingwell, Lee; Subject: RE: [Quoted text iiiddenj https://maii.google.com/m^ 6/7/2011 Gmail-Re: Page 3 of 4 Martinez, Mike [Council Member] <[email protected]> Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 2:13 PM To: "Shade, Randi" <[email protected]>, "Nathan, Mark" <[email protected]>, Cc: "Leffingwell, Lee" <[email protected]>, agreed it cornpletley opens the door for request for postponement due to "lack of time to look it over" Mayor Pro Tern Mike Martinez 31OW. 2nd Street Austin, Texas 512.974.2264 From: Shade, Randi Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2009 2:17 PM To: Nathan, Mark; Martinez, Mike [Council Member]; Cc: Leffingwell, Lee; ' Subject: RE: [Quoted text hidden] Nathan, Mark <[email protected]£in.tx.us> Thu, Nov 12,2009 at 3:07 PM To: "Shade, Randi" <[email protected]>, "Martinez, Mike [Council Member]" <[email protected]>, Cc: "Leffingweli, Lee" <[email protected]> I'm open to putting it off until 12/10 instead of moving forward now if you feel like it needs to cook more.
