Consent Agenda
Covers routine administrative matters. These items are not discussed, and may all be approved as recommended on the staff reports.
The mayor will provide an opportunity for a council member or citizen to ask that an item be pulled from the consent agenda for discussion. Items pulled will receive separate action.
All items not removed from the consent agenda will be approved by a single motion of the council.
Public Hearing
Public hearings are held as a separate item of business on the agenda. The public hearing segment is your opportunity to tell the council how you feel about issues scheduled to be heard. Typically, a hearing follows these steps:
- Staff makes presentation
- Council members ask questions for clarification
- Mayor opens hearing to the public
- Public input
- Mayor closes the public hearing
- Council discusses the item
- Council takes action
When you’re called upon for comments, please step to the microphone at the podium and state your name and address for the record. Occasionally, the council may continue a hearing to another meeting before taking action.
Other Business
Items intended primarily for council discussion and action. The mayor has discretion as to what, if any, public comments will be heard on these items.
Appointments
Various advisory board, commission, committee or task force appointments are made.
