CITY COUNCIL AGENDA PROCESS At the request of Councilman Chase, this item was placed on the workshop agenda for Council discussion. Councilman Chase stated he felt a number of items on the Council Agenda for the regular Council Meetings could be placed on the Consent Calendar and taken as one item. He felt that perhaps this might expedite matters that are fairly routine which appear on the agenda. Lengthy discussion was held by the Coun- cil as to how certain items placed on the Agenda could be removed at the meeting and placed on the Consent Calendar by concensus of the Council After further discussion, it was the concensus of the Council that the staff, in preparing the agenda, place routine items on the Consent Calen- dar on an experimental basis to determine if this would be a more expeditious procedure. &Y OF CARLSB a D CQUNCllMEl 1 - D 0 q - 2- k4 mu P September 23, 1975 do f I [37] 3.
