Immediately following roll call, the City Council will approve the order of
business that will be considered as presented on the published agenda. This
provision is not an opportunity to review items and add new ones. This item
is not debatable and requires a majority vote of the City Councilmembers
present to approve the agenda. After the agenda has been approved, a 2/3
vote is required to change the agenda.
Process for removal:
Before each posted meeting and immediately after a quorum is established,
the council shall approve the agenda. No item may be added to the agenda.
During the approval process, the presiding officer shall ask Councilmembers
if they wish to remove items from the agenda. Councilmembers who wish to
have items removed from the agenda shall identify those items to the
presiding officer. The presiding officer will ask the City Manager if there
are reasons why any item shall not be removed. Thereafter, the presiding
officer shall call for a vote of the Councilmembers without debate.
