<br />Introduction <br /> <br />The process to place items on the council agenda has its basis in both adopted <br />council policy and in administrative policy. The current council policy was <br />adopted at the beginning of 2002, and allowed council members to directly place <br />items on the agenda for the first time in over a decade. The policy was instituted <br />on a 3-2 vote by Mayor Kysylyczyn, Mr. Kough, and Mr. Schroeder. The <br />administrative policy requirement was initially put in place in early 2002 through a <br />joint decision made by Mayor Kysylyczyn and Manager Beets. This <br />administrative policy required that council requests be submitted to the Manager <br />and/or Mayor by noon of the Wednesday preceding the Monday meeting. <br /> <br />Requested action is detrimental to the operation of the council <br /> <br />Currently the agenda process only contains administrative restrictions. Mr. <br />Klausing's request to add "political" barriers runs counter to the philosophy of <br />why an agenda exists. <br /> <br />An agenda exists for one simple reason. It is designed to inform people of all <br />possible items that may be up for discussion and action. <br /> <br />Law gives elected members certain rights that no process can restrict. Members <br />have the right to make motions at any time, on any issue, and at any meeting. <br />Another member has the right to second this motion to open discussion. A <br />majority of members may pass or table issues whenever they see fit. <br /> <br />The process also requires leadership from the person running the meeting. <br />Politic~l ~arriers, such .as the one being proposed, are nQ.s~bstitute for good <br />leadership. -. L.. . . -, , ;, :-:~ ~: . ... , . <br /> <br />. . . <br />This "political" barrier will inevitably cause detrimental effects to the system. <br />Members will start attaching motions to other items on the meeting agendas. <br />Members will start calling for motions under the approval of the agenda heading. <br />Members will have citizens initiate new discussions at public comment. As a <br />result, more items will be discussed that will not appear on the agenda. <br /> <br />Conclusion: From 2004 to the present, meetings have operated poorly, and <br />there has been over a 250/0 reduction in accomplished work. This issue is <br />related to leadership, not the number of items members place on a meeting <br />a9-el)da. Additional "p,~litical" restrictions are not a:solution for poor,,- <br />leadership. . <br />
