Discuss and consider action to approve a resolution amending rules of order and procedure for City Council meetings.

 

Summary

This item has come forward to allow the City Council to reconsider the future agendas item on each regular City Council meeting agenda and other amendments to the rules of order and procedure as desired.

 

Prior City Council Action

The City Council adopted rules of order and procedure for City Council meetings on October 14, 2003 with approval of Resolution 478-03-10-14-7H.  The City Council took action on February 9, 2010 to amend the times of regular meetings to begin at 7:00 p.m. with worksessions to begin at 6:00 p.m. with approval of Resolution 1238A-10-02-09-7D.  The City Council amended its rules of order and procedure on January 23, 2018 by Resolution 1610-18-01-23-0483 and on November 26, 2019 by Resolution 1741-19-11-26-0680. The City Council amended its rules of order and procedure on April 27, 2021 by Resolution 1869-21-04-27-0857 to add a future agendas item to each regular City Council meeting agenda, to provide for video meetings and to allow the mayor to call special meetings.

 

The proposed amendment removes the future agenda items, updates language to reflect the changes in the Home Rule Charter in Section 3.10 stating the Mayor shall, with the assistance and input of the City Manager, set and approve the agendas for City Council meetings, and adds detail to agenda item request deadlines.
