- We will discuss whether to continue the use of hybrid meetings that allow remote participants to offer public comment during meetings. We discussed this item at our 11.7.23 meeting and at that time the Council did not take any action. We are revisiting this item for similar reasons that were raised at the time, and in an effort to reduce administrative burden on staff.
- We will discuss updates to the City Council guidelines and procedures. This was last discussed at our 5.2.23 meeting. It is fairly routine that the guidelines are updated to reflect the desires of the current council and it is important that these guidelines be written for clarity. The proposed changes reflect an update to the regular agenda order. There is also clarity added around how things are agendized, though there is no substantive change in that regard. In addition, in an effort to provide more transparency and reduce staff administrative burden, the proposal contemplates that council reports shall be provided in writing to be included in the minutes of each meeting.
- We will discuss City Council Committees and assignments for standing and ad-choc committees and liaison positions.
If you have any thoughts or questions on the above, please let me know.
