Approval of Minutes from Prior Meeting Approval of Proposed Consent Agenda 1. Old Business 2. New Business 3. Estimates Adoption of Regular Agenda Open Forum Regular Agenda Items 1. Old Business 3.
Many people wonder what determines what is a consent agenda item and what is a regular agenda item.
Matters on the consent agenda are routine and adopted by one motion without separate discussion. However, these items can be removed from the consent agenda and placed on the regular agenda at the request of a citizen or member of the council. Generally, no controversial items are placed on the consent agenda. Instead, they would be placed on the regular agenda to allow for the necessary discussion. Citizens can speak on any topic not on the agenda during the Open Forum portion of the meeting, right after the Consent Agenda.
