5.2 Agenda:
The City Clerk shall as contained in the Agenda prepare the order of business of each meeting. The Agenda shall be a listing by topic of subjects to be considered by the Council, and shall be delivered to members of the Council prior to the meeting to which it pertains, and within the time frame established by the Brown Act.
An item may be placed on a Council meeting agenda by any of the following methods:
(1) A Council Member may request an item be considered on a future agenda and, upon agreement of a majority of the Council, staff will prepare a staff report if formal Council action is required. Council Members may make this request during a meeting under Section XV. The process involves two steps: initial consideration of the request by the full Council and, if a majority agrees, the matter is then scheduled for further consideration on an upcoming meeting agenda, or placed on the Council’s pending items list with no specific date set. (2) By the City Manager.
(3) By the City Attorney.
(4) A Council Member may request a closed session to discuss the performance of the City Manager or City Attorney by either:
a. Following the process in subsection (1) above; or
b. Making a written request to the Mayor at least 5 days before the next regular City Council meeting or date of the proposed special closed session, whichever is later. If a Council Member makes such a written request, and the Mayor agrees with the Council Member that a closed session is necessary, the Mayor shall request that the City Clerk add the item to the agenda. If the Mayor desires to make a request under this subsection, he or she may do so by bringing the written concurrence of one other Council Member to the City Clerk.
The Agenda Committee composed of the Mayor, City Manager, City Attorney, and City Clerk shall meet bi-weekly to plan the scheduling and order of the agenda for future Council meetings.
