1. Adopt Resolution No. 24-13, which would affirm modifications to Sections

1201-11 to clarify that the public shall be allowed a total of three (3) minutes
to comment on the Consent Calendar as one agenda item prior to the City
Council voting on the Consent Calendar as a whole and that if a member of
the City Council or staff pulls a matter off the Consent Calendar, the matter
would be treated as a separate agenda item with additional public comment .

2. Authorize, and direct staff to administratively change Policy 1201-11 so
that the Consent Calendar is heard at the end of the meeting, instead of
the beginning, and to publish the updated Policy on the City’s website
without the need for staff to return to City Council with a formal resolution.
