PURPOSE:
The Mayor and Council adopt ordinances governing the procedures of council meetings, which are codified in Chapter 2 of the City Code. Chapter 2-4 specifically addresses Council procedure. The City Charter gives the Council authority to have rules and procedures in place for governing the procedure of council meetings. The Rules of Procedures document was adopted August 14, 2000 and periodically needs updated and revised. Some of the items impact the City Code, therefore, the City Code needs to be amended to reflect these changes. (Maureen Scott, City Clerk)
