VIII. CONSENT AGENDA
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
