Title
City of San Leandro City Council Rules Committee discussion of the re-ordering of items on the City Council agenda
Staffreport
SUMMARY
At the July 1, 2019 City Council Meeting, the City Council provided direction to staff to bring forth a discussion on the re-ordering of items on the City Council agenda.
Analysis
Currently, the Consent Calendar is item eight on the agenda after the City Manager and City Attorney Reports and Comments. The City Council discussed that staff members wait until the entire Consent Calendar is heard. Typically, a majority of items are approved on the Consent Calendar, however, from time to time items are pulled off the agenda for questions and discussion.
In an effort to respect staff’s time, the City Council would like the committee to discuss the possibility of re-ordering Consent items on the agenda so that staff does not have to wait so long for items to be pulled and heard.
Should the committee recommend the reordering of the agenda, the City Council would need to revise the City of San Leandro Councilmembers Handbook to include consideration of the order of the following other agenda items:
• Announcements;
• Recognitions;
• Public Comment;
• Presentations;
• Public Hearings; and
• City Manager and City Attorney Reports and Comments.
