Below is an example of Falcon Heights' language regarding agenda setting: <br />Council and Commission agendas shall be established by the City Administrator or his/her <br />designee. Future agenda items requested by a Council Member or Commission Member shall <br />be discussed during a regular and/or workshop meeting and will be determined by the <br />majority of the Council or Commission. <br />In order to focus the Council meetings on consideration of policy issues and to maintain an <br />open forum for public discussion, questions which focus on the policy aspects of agenda items <br />should be at the Council meeting rather than administrative details. Any clarifications or <br />technical questions that can be readily answered should be handled before the meeting. <br />Council Members are encouraged to submit their questions on agenda items to the City <br />Administrator as far in advance of the meeting as possible so that staff can be prepared to <br />respond at the Council meeting. <br />Any staff member (authorized by the City Administrator"), the Mayor or two (2) Council <br />Members wishing to add an item to any agenda pursuant to this section shall do so by <br />complying with the following: (a) All requests from Council to place an item on the posted <br />agenda must submit an action form to city administration * and be received by the City <br />Administrator by 10:00 a.m. 11 days prior to the next Council work session meeting. For a <br />regularly scheduled Wednesday Workshop, the deadline for agenda item would be 10:00 a.m. <br />on the Thursday preceding packet completion. All request from the Mayor and Council must <br />first be reviewed at a Council Workshop before being placed on the agenda of a regular <br />meeting. <br />Should Council decide to move forward with a formal policy it should address the following: <br />• How far in -advance should items be added <br />• How many members of Council need to support an item to move forward for consideration <br />• Can items be added to a regular meeting, should they be vetted at a worksession first <br />Budget Impact <br />N/A <br />Attachment <br />N/A <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
