Looks like another Thuy Pham-Remmele show tonight. She separated almost all the items for discussion this evening.
The Exclusion list is below. Here’s the new explanation that comes with the exclusion list.
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.
Here’s the list:
Agenda Items #2 through #6 are PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
The following items are extra-majority items to be included on the consent agenda with request for unanimous vote:14. Legislative File No. 18895 – Approving plans and specifications and authorizing the Board of Public Works to advertise and receive bids for James Madison Park Shoreline, Contract No. 6324 and Amending the 2010 Storm Water Utility Capital Budget.
