title

Resolution - Commission Rules (B)

Resolution No. 190099

A resolution amending and restating in its entirety the rules of the City Commission; providing a repealing clause and providing an immediate effective date.

explanation

This Resolution amends and restates the City Commission Rules in order to correct a scriveners error regarding citizen comment.  In the last sentence of Rule 10A, General Citizen Comment, it states, "Citizen comment at the end of the evening meeting is reserved only for those citizens who did not speak at the 1pm or 5:30 pm comment periods".  In the "Order of Business" table in Rule 1, it states the final citizen comment period is "limited to citizens who did not speak at the 1pm and 5:30 pm general citizen comment periods."  This resolution updates the language in the table in Rule 1, so that it matches the substantive content in Rule 10A.  For ease of reference, the revision is highlighted in yellow on page 2 of the draft provided in the back-up to this agenda item.

recommendation

Adopt the Resolution.
