The City Council passed a resolution at Monday’s City Council meeting adopting new City Council Rules of Order and Procedure, after reviewing proposed language updates discussed at their Oct. 20 work session.
The rules, first adopted in early 2024 and developed based on state law, the City Charter and common practices, are guidelines that govern how City Council meetings and public hearings are conducted. They also clarify Council members’ participation in community activities and on Council committees.
Updates to the rules included
- Refinement/clarification of previous language,
- Adding advisory committee rules to the section regarding council committees, appointments and assignments, and
- Moving the deadline for submitting public comment cards to 4 p.m. from 5 p.m.
Updating the rules are part of the City Council’s 2025-27 Goal tactics.
