Tuesday, August 06, 2002 <br />Date: 08/12/02 <br />Item: VL B. <br />Organizarional Business <br />I am asking the Council to consider amending our Standing Rules of <br />Procedure to create a process for last-minute changes to the agenda. <br />Since last minute additions to the agenda should be the exception and <br />not the rule, I suggest that either a unanimous or 4/S's vote of the <br />Council is necessary at a meeting to add agenda items that are not part <br />of the published agenda. Individual Coux�cilmembers would still be free <br />to have any item they wisla placed on the published agenda. The rule I'm <br />proposing simply says that: after Councilmembers add their items and <br />after the Mayor or his designee reviews and approves the agenda and <br />after the agenda is published and �ufter the meeting is convened, then it <br />takes a super-majority of the Council � add things to the published, <br />agenda. <br />Here are two options: <br />Option A.-- Rule I5 Amendments to the Agenda <br />At each Council Meeting, the Council may, by unanimous vote, alte�' the published <br />agenda of business for that meeting. <br />Option B.-- Rule 15 Amendments to the Agenda <br />At each Council Meeting, the Council may, by four-fifths vote of the entire Council, alter <br />the published agez�da of business for that meeting. <br />Councilmember Maschka <br />�, - a oo � <br />
