The individual 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, allowing the public an opportunity to provide input for Council consideration in the decision-making process. Study Session Items: Council reviews and determines the approach to be used on significant policy issues, to receive progress reports on current issues, or to receive information from the City Manager, staff, or other regional officials.

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 disposition of routine items of business on the Council agenda.
