Madison City Council: What will they talk about tonight?

There were multiple updates this afternoon, I hope this is the final one!!!  But it can always change at the meeting when people show up to speak or a member fo the council pulls something off the agenda.

WHAT IS A CONSENT AGENDA?

Please note that exclusions on this listing may change at the meeting.

Items may be added or taken off the list when the consent agenda is presented.

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.
