Chairman McNosky stated that a rotation schedule would enable alternate positions to fully participate on a more frequent basis and encourage regular attendance. Chairman McNosky requested staff to provide any additional information regarding such a plan. Barry LeBaron stated he had discussed such a rotation schedule with the City Attorney, who advised against development of a pre-arranged voting schedule.
