items on the consent calendar are typically approved, adopted, or enacted by one motion of the
Council.
Public Hearings: Hearings held to receive public comment on important matters before the Council,

Examiners’ decisions and recommendations on various land use applications, as well as appeals, are

capacity.
Quorum: Minimum number of voting members who must be present for business to be conducted. A

Resolution: Legislation that is adopted to express the policy of the Council or to direct certain types
of administrative action.
Motion: A motion is typically used to indicate majority approval of a procedural action or to authorize
