SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Councilmember Doane has requested the City Council consider revising Resolution 4792
that sets forth the order of business during City Council meetings (Attachment A). Staff
has prepared a draft resolution incorporating the proposed changes for City Council
consideration. •
BACKGROUND:
On March 13, 2000, the Seal Beach City Council adopted a resolution that included a
section that outlined the agenda order of business. Councilmember Doane has requested
this matter be placed on the agenda to consider revising the existing order of business.
The following is a summary of the changes to Section 5 -Order of business:
• The revised resolution would delete the "Announcements Section" (5 (e)) from
the order of business. Announcements would be made under the Council
Comments section of the agenda.
• The second proposed change is to Section 5 (f) of Resolution 4792. It is proposed
that Public Comments be changed to Oral Communications. This is a title change
only and will still provide the public ample opportunity to address City Council.
• Under the proposed revision, Reports from Staff and Council Comments would be
moved from the last two items on the agenda and take place early in the agenda
following the Oral Communications portion of the agenda.
No other changes were made to Resolution 4792. Council is requested to review the
changes to the draft revised resolution for City Council consideration (Attachment B).
