Florida's Government-in-the-Sunshine Law - Meetings held at locations other than City Hall (B)
 
explanation
From time to time, the City Commission receives requests to meet at a location other than City Hall.  City staff reviews such requests and often offers alternative solutions that more clearly comply with the requirements of Florida's Government-in-the-Sunshine Law.  At the Agenda Review meeting on August 27, 2014, several members of the City Commission discussed a recent invitation that the City Commission received to meet with University of Florida representatives on campus.  With respect to this request, City management and legal staff has met with UF staff and discussed alternatives for structuring any such meeting in a manner that complies with the Sunshine Law.  The Commission members present at the Agenda Review meeting requested that the City Attorney's Office provide an update on the Sunshine Law requirements at the City Commission meeting on September 4.
 
recommendation
City Commission hear a presentation from staff.
