Council directed staff to collect and compile changes recommended by the Council and return for a study session for further deliberation.
Following the submission of Council comments, staff considered Council and public comments and incorporated certain comments into a revised draft of the Procedures Manual. (See Attachment B (redline) and Attachment C (clean version).)
