§ 2-52. Consent agenda procedure.

The following procedure shall be utilized in preparing and executing the consent agenda:

(1)

The city manager or his designated representative shall determine the items which will be placed on the consent agenda. These items will be items which the city manager or his designee considers to be routine and would not normally require council or public discussion.

(2)

Any member of the city council shall have the right, without approval of the other councilmembers, to remove an item from the consent agenda.

(3)

During the citizens to be heard portion of the agenda, any member of the public may request that a consent agenda item be removed from the consent agenda. The mayor may ask the person requesting removal to provide a brief explanation of the reason for the request. The item will be removed upon concurrence of any member of the city council. If the item is not removed the member of the public may address the consent agenda item during "citizens to be heard."

(4)

Any item removed from the consent agenda will be considered under the unfinished business or new business section of the agenda. The consent agenda item will be added to the end of the subjects listed under unfinished or new business.

(5)

When the council is in agreement with the contents of the consent agenda, the mayor shall ask for a motion which can be in the following format: "I move that the consent agenda be approved as indicated."
