Subject: COUNCIL PROCEDURAL ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
Statement of the Matter
On occasion, it may be desirable to have the ability to
place new items on an agenda for an adjourned Council
meeting. Council's current procedural ordinance does
not provide this capability, except for items considered
to be urgent.
If Council desires to add this capability to their procedural
ordinance, an ordinance is attached which will accommodate
this purpose.
