F. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION (Lien Reductions)
Mr. Blasie stated this was placed on the agenda at the request of some Board
members who felt that the meetings are ending very late in the evening. It was
suggested that the lien reductions be limited to a certain number, but Mr. Blasie
stated that this was not feasible due to various time constraints. Chairman
DeLiso suggested that the cases on the agenda could be limited to a certain
amount and that a second meeting be held for lien reductions only, plus any
overflow from the regUlar meeting.
Mr. Rossi pointed out that a great majority of the people cited do not show up for
the meetings. If everyone did show up, the meetings would go on even much

later. Mr. Rossi would also like to see some guidelines in place on determining

problems for the City Attorney's Office.

board, if needed.
Chairman DeLiso asked if a motion would be necessary. Attorney Tolces
suggested that the Board make a recommendation that staff investigate the
possibility of the Board meeting twice monthly and report back to the Board at the
next meeting.
Mr. Blasie said he will investigate what times and venues would be available for a
second meeting. Aisc, the attendance policy for Board members would have to
be looked at if there were two meetings a month. Chairman DeLiso requested
that Mr. Blasie rePort back to the Board at the November meeting on his findings.

issues during the Maas case that should have been included.
