City Council Agenda Item Report FROM:

Ryan Cummins, City Manager

MEETING DATE:

February 23, 2026

SUBJECT:

Council Rules of Procedure – Proposed Change to Order of Agenda

DESCRIPTION: The City Council’s Rules of Procedure contains an agenda order of business under conduct of meetings. In January 2023, there was a change to move board, commission and committee reports up to be after the consent agenda. Prior to that, minutes going back until at least 2006 had board, commission and committee reports towards the end of the meetings. Mayor Anderson and I have discussed ways to make regular meetings more efficient. To do so, I recommend the following: •

Moving reports from staff, boards, commissions and committees to be after new business.

Based on the feedback from the workshop, staff reports will be on the first regular meeting of the month, and board, commission, and committee reports will be on the second regular meeting of the month. With the addition of the logo and branding advisory committee, I also recommend adding them to the list:
