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 one minor modification 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.

 

Council will also note a clarification has been made to the Public Hearing portion of Orders of Business to better explain how Public Hearings are held after the meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. following the Consent Agenda. 

 

Recommendation

By motion adopt the proposed Orders of Business.
