Title
RULES OF PROCEDURE AND QUORUM - ORDERS OF BUSINESS
Background
Section 3.03 of the City Charter, Procedure of Council, states that the Council shall determine its own Order of Business. As this is the first organizational meeting of the year staff is suggesting two minor modifications to the Council’s current Orders of Business for consideration:
- Approval of Minutes -include Approval of Minutes as part of the Consent Agenda which would allow the Council to approve the minutes as a body rather than individually. Should Council have any changes or corrections to the minutes they can be pulled from the Consent Agenda similar to any other Consent Agenda item and addressed separately or Council could contact staff prior to the meeting and communicate any corrections which would then be incorporated prior to the meeting.
- Public Hearings - publish Public Hearings to begin at 7:30 p.m. immediately following the Consent Agenda. This would assist audience members attending Public Hearings by not having to wait until 8:00 p.m. or later to participate.
Recommendation
By motion adopt the proposed Orders of Business.
