HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
City Council meetings are conducted based on Council Rules and Procedures with guidance from Roberts Rules of Order. So that meetings are run effectively and efficiently, it would be advantageous for Council to conduct training on the conducting of meetings, Council’s Rules and Procedures and Roberts Rules of Order.
In the past, Council was offered training that addressed conducting Council meetings and setting agendas, but it has been some time since this type of training was conducted. With a newer City Council, this might be helpful.
Mr. Sales assisted the City Council in developing the current Rules and Procedures, thus the suggestion that he assist in conducting the workshop.

October 8, 2020 - City Council adopted the current set of Council Rules and Procedures.
