Committee Chairs should keep in mind the provisions of Rule 28:
"Pursuant to the Open Meeting Law, if less than a quorum of the full Board of Aldermen attends a committee meeting, the visiting members may participate in full discussion. However, if a quorum of the full Board of Aldermen is present at the committee meeting, the visiting members must sit in the audience and participate as members of the public and may not deliberate."
The Board of Alderman clerk covering the meeting may alert the Committee Chair when a quorum of the Board is present.
