Reviewed 12.26.23 Ever wondered about the section of the council agenda called “Consent Agenda”?
The consent agenda is a tool used to streamline meeting procedures by collecting routine, perceived non-controversial items into a group whereby all are passed with a single motion and vote. This method has grown in popularity in recent years because of the time efficiencies.
Items on the consent agenda are not discussed further by the council. Any council member or member of city staff may request that an item be removed from the Consent Agenda for separate consideration or discussion. Residents may not remove items from the consent agenda.
Meeting agenda are posted 72 hours in advance of a meeting. Any resident with concerns should contact the City Administrator at 952.960.7900 before the agenda is published.
