Approval of Agenda: The time at which the agenda is approved. Councilmembers or the City Manager may also suggest adding, withdrawing or moving the order of items on the agenda at this time. A simple majority of Councilmembers present may vote to approve as written or as amended.

The total time for oral communications is 30 minutes, and speakers must limit their presentation to 3 minutes. A maximum of three persons are permitted to speak to each side of any one topic.

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. Land Use: This is the point on the agenda when land use matters, including the City Hearing Examiners’ decisions and recommendations on various land use applications, as well as appeals, are taken up for Council discussion and action.

Ordinance: Ordinances are legislative acts or local laws. They are the most permanent and binding form of Council action and may be changed or repealed only by a subsequent ordinance. 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.

These include, but are not limited to, issues concerning the buying and selling of real property, certain personnel issues, and litigation.
