2.04.030 Council meeting agendas.
A. Preparation of Agenda. City council business and study session meeting agendas shall be assembled by the city administrator and the mayor. Any one of the city’s elected officials may place an item on the agenda as long as the item is submitted to the city administrator a minimum of five working days prior to the council meeting. Other parties desiring to place an item on the agenda shall submit the item to the city administrator or mayor at least five calendar days prior to the council meetings. The city administrator and the mayor shall solely determine whether items submitted by other parties shall appear on any city council agenda.
B. Consent Agenda.
1. Each regular and official business meeting agenda shall include a “consent agenda” in the order of business. When the city administrator and mayor determine that any item of business requires action by the council but is of a routine and noncontroversial nature, they may cause such item to be presented at a regular meeting of the council as part of a “consent agenda.”
2. The reference material for all matters listed within the consent agenda shall be distributed to each member of the city council for their review prior to the meeting. Matters on such consent agenda shall be considered to be routine and may be enacted by a single motion of the council with no separate discussion unless removed from the consent agenda as hereinafter provided.
3. If separate discussion of any consent agenda item is desired, that item may be removed from the consent agenda at the request of any individual council member. At the conclusion of passage of the consent agenda, those items removed at the request of any individual council member shall either be discussed and acted upon before proceeding to the next item of business on the agenda or shall be set to a later position on the agenda for that meeting.
4. Approval of the motion to approve the consent agenda shall be fully equivalent to approval, adoption, or enactment of each motion, resolution, or other item of business thereon, exactly as if each had been acted upon individually. (Ord. 1444 § 1, 2020; Ord. 799 § 1, 1998; Ord. 570 § 1, 1990).
