Memorandum

 

 
DATE: January 21, 2003
TO:

The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

FROM: Dennis A. Barlow, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Oral Communications

At the January 7, 2003 Council Meeting, Mayor Laurell asked that the full Council consider the question of what items may be discussed at the 2nd Oral Communications period. Several speakers have concluded that since they are limited to items on the agenda that means any item on the agenda, including the ceremonial items at the beginning. Mayor Laurell has asked that the governing rules be clarified that only agenda "action" items may be discussed.

Pursuant to the Council policy, staff has done no additional work. If a majority of the Council wishes to discuss this item staff should be directed to bring back an agenda item with full staff work.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Council direct staff to bring back an amendment to the Council resolution restricting the 2nd period of Oral Communications to the action items which follow that period.
