summary Minutes: Regular City Commission Meeting January 16. 2014 City of sunny Isles Beach. Florida Mayor Edelcup said until further notice we will have a workshop on Tuesday preceding the regularly scheduled Commission meeting for those of the Commission and public who choose to attend, at which time no votes will ever be taken. Vice Mayor Aelion added that no zoning items will ever be heard at a workshop. City Attorney Ottinot said attendance is voluntary as Commissioner Scholl indicated. Mayor Edelcup said if you are going to have an add-on. it should be out there far enough in advance so that the public can know that there is an item for discussion as a courtesy to the public. If you bring it up at the workshop, he thinks it is only fair that you defer it to the neat workshop to alloy everyone to have the opportunity to be present. Again, it would not be fair if a Commissioner comes in to discuss an entire different topic and it is an important topic. Commissioner Scholl said there have been add-on items at every meeting. Former Vice Mayor Lewis Thaler used to come in with a laundry list of items at the end of each meeting. Mayor Edelcup noted that a lot of those werejust to check up with what was happening with the City Manager. That is really what those items were meant to be. and unfortunately it crept to the point where eye are here tonight trying to clarify it. What we are trying to do is to take a step back and go back to what the original intent was. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS (Other than Ordinances for Second Reading) None 9.
