meeting, this meeting may also simultaneously constitute a meeting of the Common Council or any
of the following committees: Community and Economic Development, Finance and Personnel,
Judiciary and Legislation, Licenses, Public Safety and Health, Public Works, Zoning, Neighborhoods
& Development, and/or Steering and Rules. Whether a simultaneous meeting is occurring depends
on whether the presence of one or more of the Common Council member results in a quorum of the
Common Council or any of the above committees, and, if there is a quorum of another committee,
whether any agenda items listed above involve matters within that committee’s realm of authority.
In the event that a simultaneous meeting is occurring, no action other than information gathering will
be taken at the simultaneous meeting.
Times for specific agenda items are estimations. If items cannot be heard at their specified times,
