Meeting Date: July 1, 2019
To: Traffic Safety Commission
Staff Contact: Massoud Saberian, City Traffic Engineer
Massoud.Saberian@Carlsbadca.gov or 760-268-4796
Subject: Proposed Rules for Traffic Safety Commission
Recommended Action
Continue the item until after the City Council considers Carlsbad Municipal Code amendments related to
the Traffic Safety Commission’s role and duties.
Background
Staff received a request from Commissioner Linke to agendize proposed rules for the TSC, which he
prepared (Exhibit 1). Under Carlsbad Municipal Code section 2.15.090, the TSC may adopt procedural
rules and regulations, however staff recommends continuing the TSC’s consideration of proposed rules
until after the City Council adopts amendments to the Carlsbad Municipal Code relating to the TSC’s role
and duties.
Discussion
Commissioner Linke requested that staff agendize proposed TSC rules that he prepared (Exhibit
1). Staff agendized this item but recommends that the TSC continue it until after the City
Council adopts Carlsbad Municipal Code amendments relating to the TSC’s role and duties.
The scope of the adopted Carlsbad Municipal Code amendments will dictate the appropriate
scope of additional TSC rules. For example, whether TSC has a role in considering items prior to,
or in addition to, Planning Commission will be determined through the Carlsbad Municipal Code
amendments relating to the TSC’s role and duties.
Should the TSC instead move to adopt additional rules, the draft rules would be forwarded to
the City Clerk for feedback in accordance with Carlsbad Municipal Code section 2.15.090. Under
section 2.15.090 (Procedural rules and regulations), all boards and commissions shall conduct
their meetings pursuant to the rules contained in Carlsbad Municipal Code Chapter 1.20 and
any additional rules and regulations developed by the city clerk working in conjunction with the
board or commission.
The TSC has adopted rules and regulations previously via a TSC Resolution (see Exhibit 2).
However, under the language in Chapter 2.15 now requires that any additional rules and
regulations be developed with the City Clerk’s input. Therefore, the TSC may submit
recommended rules to the City Clerk for their input in accordance with Carlsbad Municipal
Code section 2.15.090. In that event, staff would seek the City Clerk’s feedback and bring back
proposed rules, which incorporate that feedback, to the TSC for its consideration.
Necessary Council Action
No Council action is necessary to adopt additional rules for the TSC.
Next Steps
Staff recommends that the TSC continue its consideration of proposed rules until after the City
Council adopts amendments to the Carlsbad Municipal Code relating to the TSC’s role and
duties. TSC may alternatively submit recommended rules to the City Clerk for their input in
accordance with Carlsbad Municipal Code section 2.15.090. In that event, staff would seek the
City Clerk’s feedback and bring back proposed rules, which incorporate that feedback, to the
TSC for its consideration.

Traffic Safety Commission, Commissioner Report/Commentary
By: Steve Linke (submitted June 20, 2019)
Subject: Proposed Commission Rules and Regulations
Meeting Date: July 1, 2019
Background
Through Chapter 2.15 of the Municipal Code, the City Council wants all of its Boards and Commissions to
follow more uniform processes, including meeting procedures. Section 2.15.090 addresses the meeting
procedural rules and regulations, stating: “All boards and commissions shall conduct their meetings
pursuant to the rules contained in Carlsbad Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 1.20 and any additional rules
and regulations developed by the city clerk working in conjunction with the board or commission.”
Discussion
Below is a proposed resolution with Rules and Regulations that address meeting dates, agenda and
agenda packet preparation, deadlines for document submissions and distribution, how materials are
distributed to the public and commissioners, minutes and meeting recordings, how information is
forwarded to the decision-making bodies, and how materials are permanently stored for the public
record.
Our commission is subject to the Brown Act, which restricts our ability to communicate outside of
meetings. Therefore, I think it is very important to move to a more formal system of handling
communications to make our meeting as effective and efficient as possible. With input from the city
clerk and other staff, and with the concurrence of the rest of the commission and/or City Council, this
should make the expected protocols much clearer going forward.
MOBILITY COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2019-1
A RESOLUTION OF THE MOBILITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CARLSBAD,
CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING PROCEDURAL RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR MEETINGS.
Chapter 2.28 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code establishes the Mobility Commission as an
advisory body to the City Council and Planning Commission on issues related to mobility and
traffic safety.
Chapter 2.15.090 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code requires that meetings be held

additional rules and regulations developed by the city clerk working in conjunction with the
board or commission.
The Mobility Commission of the City of Carlsbad hereby resolves that the following
additional rules and regulations for meetings are adopted:
2
1. General
The rules contained in Chapter 1.20 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code generally apply to the
commission with the following substitutions:
• “Commissioners” substituted for “Council Members”
• “Commission” substituted for “City Council” or “Council”
• “Staff Liaison” substituted for “City Manager”
• “Chair” substituted for “Mayor”
• “Vice Chair” substituted for “Mayor Pro Tem”
• “Commission Clerk” substituted for “City Clerk”
2. Regular and special commission meetings
A. Regular commission meetings will be held on the first non-holiday Monday of each month at
5:00 PM or as otherwise established by commission resolution.
B. Special commission meetings may be called by the chair, a majority of the commission, or
the staff liaison.
3. Commission meeting agendas
A. Items of business relevant to the commission’s duties, as defined by Section 2.28 of the
Carlsbad Municipal Code, shall be placed on the agenda by the staff liaison or by commission
action within a reasonable time of such action.
B. The agenda will contain an ordered list of items of business to be transacted or discussed at
the meeting, including a brief statement from staff of the specific action requested or
recommended to be taken by the commission. Items shall be presented in a format that would
be understandable to a member of the general public without previous knowledge of the item
and compliant with any additional standards established by the commission by resolution.
C. The agenda will be based on the following order of business:
1. Call to order;
2. Roll call;
3. Approval of minutes;
4. Public comments on matters not listed on the agenda;
5. Standard agenda items (previous and new business);
6. Staff liaison status report and commentary;
7. Commissioner comments and requests for consideration of matters;
8. Adjournment.
D. At least seven calendar days prior to the meeting, staff shall post the agenda in accordance
with applicable law, including posting on the city’s website and electronic delivery to the
commissioners.
4. Commission agenda packets/staff reports
A. The staff liaison is responsible for all staff reports and other documents relevant to each item
of business on the agenda.
3
B. Depending on the type of agenda item, staff reports shall include a complete record of the
item, including maps, exhibits, traffic data, safety data, staff recommendations, and/or other
material sufficient for the commission to make an informed decision. The staff reports shall be in
a format that would be understandable to a member of the general public without previous
knowledge of the item of business and be compliant with any additional standards established
by the commission by resolution.
C. At least seven calendar days prior to the meeting, staff shall post the agenda packet on the
city’s website and electronically deliver it to the commissioners.
D. Commissioners may submit written questions to staff related to standard agenda items, and
staff shall make reasonable efforts to answer the questions in writing for simultaneous
distribution before the meeting.
E. Members of the public should be encouraged to submit their comments in writing in advance
of meetings in which they intend to provide public comment.
F. If additional materials relevant to the agenda are received up to the time of the meeting from
the public or commissioners, such as correspondence, commissioner reports, presentation
slides, answers to commissioner questions, suggested changes to the minutes, etc., those
materials shall become part of the public record for the meeting. This includes correspondence
received for public comments or commissioner comments, as well as regular agenda items.
G. At a minimum, any additional materials received three or more calendar days prior to the
meeting shall be distributed by staff three calendar days prior to the meeting (Friday for a
Monday meeting) by posting them on the city’s website and electronically delivering them to the
commissioners. Additional materials received within three days of the meeting can be
distributed on the day of the meeting, as described above, and/or at the meeting.
H. Any staff presentations and additional material relevant to a standard agenda item shall be
appended to the staff report for permanent retention in the public records system.
Correspondence received for public comments or commissioner comments also shall be
retained permanently in the public records system in a manner that is visible when searching for
staff reports by meeting date.
5. Minutes
A. Although a verbatim transcript of the proceedings is not required, the Mobility Commission
serves an advisory role, and it relies on its minutes and meeting documents to convey
information to guide final decisions. Accordingly, the minutes should be a complete record of the
questions, answers, discussions, and deliberations that occur. Beyond that, staff shall include in
the minutes of the meeting a commission member’s specific statement on any matter upon
request made by that commission member in substantially the following manner: “I would like
the minutes to show...”
B. Staff shall prepare and distribute to the commission draft minutes as soon as possible after
the meeting, but no later than the distribution of the agenda packet for the next meeting.
Commissioners may suggest changes to the minutes in writing prior to the next meeting, or
through the presiding officer at the meeting. If there is no objection from any member of the
commission, the minutes shall be approved with said changes. Following approval, minutes of
meetings will be retained permanently in the public records system.
4
6. Recordings of meetings
Staff shall record commission meetings as an aid in the preparation of minutes and as a
permanent record to be kept in the public records system.
7. General rules of procedure
A. For standard agenda items, after presentation of staff and/or commissioner reports, the
presiding officer will invite the commissioners to ask questions of the presenter(s) directly
related to their presentations without evoking deliberation. Upon closure of this initial
questioning, the presiding officer shall open the meeting to public testimony. Upon closure of
public testimony, the presiding officer will invite deliberation, which can include further questions
of the presenter(s), and motions for action by the commissioners.
B. For the staff liaison status report and commentary, the staff liaison shall provide a report in
the agenda packet showing the current status of past actions and requests by the Commission,
and they may verbalize any concerns or interests pertaining to a non-agenda item without
evoking deliberation.
C. For commissioner commentary and requests for consideration of matters, every
Commissioner has the opportunity to verbalize any concerns or interests pertaining to a non-
agenda item without evoking deliberation.
8. Information transfer
A. When a Mobility Commission item of business will eventually be considered by the City
Council or Planning Commission, staff should make a concerted effort to have the Mobility
Commission staff report complete to the point that the commission can take an advisory action,
rather than just receive information. In addition, the Mobility Commission agenda title should be
retained if it is a stand-alone matter, or it should be used as the section title if the matter is part
of a broader report.
B. When a Mobility Commission item of business is later considered by the City Council or
Planning Commission, discussions by the Mobility Commission shall be included in the new
staff reports, regardless of whether the Mobility Commission item was “action” or “information
only.” If the Mobility Commission meeting minutes already have been approved, then they shall
be attached to and referenced by the new staff report. If the minutes have not yet been
approved, the new staff report shall contain a summary of the Mobility Commission’s discussion.
C. If staff intends to put any Mobility Commission item of business on the consent calendar of
the City Council or Planning Commission, rather than on the regular agenda, that approach
should be included in the recommended action to the Mobility Commission.
9. Public records
As described above, the agenda packets (including staff reports, staff presentations, and all
additional materials received from the public and the commissioners), the meeting minutes, and
the recordings of the meetings shall be retained permanently in the city’s searchable public
records system. In addition, all of these items shall be linked by meeting date from the Mobility
Commission’s meetings web page on the city’s website for a minimum of three years.

Rationale for specific language
Section 3A (Agendas): I included the phrase “within a reasonable time of such action” for the placement
of commission-initiated requests on future agendas to prevent unreasonable delays (i.e., multiple
months).
Sections 3, 4, and 9 (Agendas, Agenda Packets, and Public Records): The proposed processes are
generally how things are being handled for the City Council.
Section 5 (Minutes):
• The commission has been told that the minutes are one of our main ways to express our
recommendations and concerns to the City Council, so they should not be the type of very brief
minutes recommended for decision-making bodies with recorded proceedings. They need to
include more detail—although in summary form.
• Specific requests for inclusion in the minutes using the phrase “I would like the minutes to
show...” is taken directly from CMC Section 1.20.080.
• The language regarding approval of commissioner requests for changes to the minutes in the
absence of objection is taken from our current meeting rules resolution.
Section 7B (Staff Liaison Status Report and Commentary): The intent is to have the Staff Liaison
continuously maintain a written status report (work list) with past actions and requests made by the
commission. The report should be included in each agenda packet and updates could be discussed
during the Staff Liaison’s commentary period at the end of the meeting.
Section 8 (Information Transfer):
• Encourages items to be presented for “action” rather than “information only.”
• Ensures that the City Council is aware of the true nature of transferred items (e.g., to prevent
the case where a road diet project considered by the TSC was re-labeled as a re-paving project
for the City Council).
• Ensure that relevant TSC discussions and decisions get transferred to the decision-making body,
regardless of whether an item was considered “action” or “information only,” and regardless of
whether our minutes have been finalized or not (e.g., our discussions on the e-bikeshare topic
were not provided to the City Council, and they repeated many of our questions).
• Prevents items from getting lost on the Consent Agendas of the decision-making bodies.
