16.E. Request by Mayor Brock that the City Council preemptively approve Mayor Brock’s use of budgeted travel funds for each to attend the National League of Cities (NLC) City Summit in Tampa Bay, Florida, scheduled for November 13- 16, 2024. Resolution Number 11314 (attached) sets forth Council guidelines for travel fund usage. Section I, “Council Travel and Expense,” Sub-section A, authorizes Councilmembers to attend events hosted by organizations in which the City holds membership, including the NLC. It further specifies that any post-election travel by outgoing Councilmembers must be approved by a simple majority at a duly noticed Council meeting. Given that the City has not received certified election results prior to the November 11th Council meeting, it is unclear whether Mayor Brock’s status qualifies him as “outgoing” for the dates of the NLC City Summit. Preemptive approval of Mayor Brock’s travel ensures adherence to Council travel policy without uncertainty. - New Item Received 11/08/2024
16.F. Request of Councilmember de la Torre that the City Attorney and City Manager return to Council with an amendment to the Council rules to address Councilmember decorum on the dais so that Councilmembers agree to treat one another respectfully and professionally. - New Item Received 11/08/2024
