Council recommends and approves the proposed guidance for adding new items under "Direction on Future Agenda Items":
1. Discuss any new "future agenda items" with the City Manager in advance to determine if it can added without impacting the timing or ability to deliver on other existing City Council priorities. Most requests are likely to fall into this category.
2. If the proposed item is too large for current staff bandwidth and will likely delay other existing City Council priorities, during “Direction on Future Agenda Items”, the City Council member should ask for the item to be added to a list of items that the City Council should discuss at the next mid-year or budget discussion, depending on the time sensitivity of the item.
3. Finally, if it is a sizable request, but is time-sensitive and would suffer by being delayed a few months, the City Council member can ask for it as usual during “Direction on Future Agenda Items”. Unless a majority of the City Council desires to postpone the item, staff will come back at a subsequent City Council meeting with a suggested re-prioritization of activities or other potential alternatives for formal City Council agreement.
