Re: Council Meeting Organization
On April 18, 1998, Council heid a workshop to discuss issues of individual and
mutuai concem to members of Councii. Of the items discussed was the organization
of the agenda and the process surrounding the actual running of the meeting. During
this discussion it was suggested that there might be benefit to the community and to
individuals desirous of bringing matters before Council to amend the structure of the
current agenda.
The agenda change, which appeared to have consensus, was to move the Open
Forum portion of the evening before the meeting is actually convened. The ideology
appears that, since the formal meeting would not have yet begun, and in that this
portion could be off camera, the Council may actually receive input from the citizenry
that it does �ot now receive (fear of the camera and the formality of the actuai
Cou�cil meeting for instance). It was suggested that during the open forum portion
Councii may decide if an issue brought up during that discussion should be piaced on
the agenda for later that evening or on a subsequent meeting night.
Enclosed is a suggested agenda cover sheet, which reflects the above discussion.
Council Action
By motion, direct that the Council agenda be amended pursuant to the above.
