VIII. CONSENT ITEMS
The following items are anticipated to require little or no individualized discussion due to
their nature being clerical, ministerial, mundane or routine. In an effort to enhance the
efficiency of City Council meetings, it is intended that these items will be acted upon by the
City Council with a single motion because no public hearing or determination is necessary.
However, a City Council Member or citizen may request separate deliberation for a specific
item, in which event those items will be removed from the consent agenda prior to the City
Council voting on the consent agenda as a collective, singular item. Prior to voting on the
consent agenda, the City Council may add additional items that are listed elsewhere on the
same agenda.
