Latest version.

  • (a)

    Workshop meetings may be set by the mayor, or in the absence of the mayor by the mayor's duly appointed successor, or by a majority vote of the commission, or by the city manager. Such meetings shall be noticed and amended as with regular and special commission meetings, and, in the discretion of the presiding officer, the rules of procedures as set forth in this article may be made applicable to workshop meetings.

    (b)

    There shall be a workshop meeting on the third Monday of each month beginning at 7:00 p.m.

    (1)

    Any commissioner or the city manager may place any item or items on the agenda of the workshop, but no later than 3:00 p.m. on the Tuesday prior to the workshop. Approval by the presiding officer or commission as a whole shall not be required.

    (2)

    No item or items may be submitted to the city clerk after that deadline and no item or items may be added to the agenda by vote of the commission if they are submitted after that deadline.

    (3)

    The agenda for the meeting shall be published no later than 12:00 noon on the Thursday prior to the workshop meeting.

    (4)

    If no item is submitted to the city clerk, as required in subsection (1), the workshop meeting will be cancelled and the city clerk shall so advise the city manager, commissioners, and other interested parties.

    (5)

    When the workshop meeting is held, the workshop agenda shall include "Communications from Public Officials." Any commissioner or the city manager can publicly announce or give notice of any matter of interest to the commission and can provide informational content and discussion on matters of interest not requiring a vote. Discussion from the commission or city manager shall be limited by the presiding officer for purposes of clarification only. Discussions on matters of interest shall not be deemed to be in conflict with subsections (b)(1) or (b)(2) above.
