WHAT IS THE CONSENT AGENDA?

What is a consent agenda?

Typical consent agenda items are routine, procedural decisions, and decisions that are likely to be noncontroversial.

Examples include:

Routine matters such as appointments to committees;

Routine resolutions approving plans, improvements, etc.

Reports provided for information only;

Correspondence requiring no action.

Why is a consent agendas used?

The consent agenda is used by the Council to save meeting time and to help ensure that Council meetings focus on substantive topics that are worth discussion. Through the “bundling” process, the entire set of routine agenda items can be voted on in one action versus taking the time to vote on each individual item.

What is the exclusion list?

These are agenda items that alders have requested be taken off the consent agenda.  The main reason an alder asks for an agenda item to be excluded is that they want to discuss/debate the item at the Council meeting.

Please note that public hearing items are never included on the exclusion list.  They are specifically scheduled and taken up by the Common Council at 6:45 p.m.
