Backgraund•-
Zn accordance with Council direction, the City Attorney' s Office has
prepared a revised procedural ordinance. The ordinance has some substant-
ive changes , primarily the insertion of a Consent Calendar item on the
agenda and the placing of oral communications and staff reports at the
beginning of the agenda. In addition, the ordinance spells out in detail
certain basic parliamentary rules.
Although the ordinance is considerably longer and more detailed than the
existing procedural ordinance, it should provide for a greater flexibility
in Council procedures and will serve as a ready guide not only to the
Council but to all parties dealing with the Council.
It is expected that shortly Council will have before it an ordinance
reorganizing the existing code provisions relative to boards and commissions
and a resoTution establishing basic procedural guidelines for the boards
and commissions. All of these, with the procedural ordinance before �
Council at present, will be combined .into a manual for the use of Council ,
staff, members of boards and commissions and the public.
