Agenda
1. Consider City Council Legislative Request Form (suggested by Council
Member Cawley)
Micah Cawley told the committee that the City Council Legislative Request Form
was developed in order to provide a defined method for Council members to
introduce significant policy proposals. The form is intended to be used to assign
proposals to an appropriate Council committee, identify potential financial
implications, and track committee and staff actions related to proposals.
The committee discussed how the Legislative Request Form and the existing
Service Request Form differ. Dick Zais explained that the Service Request Form is
primarily used to identify and respond to day -to -day operational issues raised by
citizens and /or Council members while the Legislative Request Form would provide
a platform for Council members to put forward ideas that are more broad in nature.
(Both forms are attached to these minutes)
Committee Action: Cawley moved the committee forward a "Do Pass"
recommendation to the full Council to:
- Adopt the proposed City Council Legislative Request Form
The motion was seconded by McClure.
Vote: 3 -0 in favor of motion.
2. Other Business
The committee directed staff to regularly review the Council's Rules of Procedure
and recommend updates and modifications as necessary.
The meeting adjourned at 3:21 p.m.
