TO: D. Mike Good, City Manager
FROM: E. Dent McGough, City Clerk
SUBJECT: A Resolution of the City of Hallandale Beach, Florida, Setting the Procedures and Schedules for Commission Meetings CAD# 035/07
PURPOSE:
The City Commission consider adoption of an amended and expanded Resolution setting procedures and schedules for City Commission meetings.
BACKGROUND:
The City Commission formalized the direction to staff at the September 3, 2008 Commission meeting regarding the meeting time for the second Commission meeting of the month. The Commission approved continuing the first meeting of the month at 10:00 A.M. and that the second meeting of the month would begin at 1:30 P.M. and continue with Public Hearing items at 7:00 P.M. Exceptions are special recognitions such as Holiday Lights and Beautification Award presentations.
DISCUSSION
The Resolution has been amended to reflect the changes as directed by the Commission. Additionally, as directed by the City Manager, the Resolution has been expanded to further define and discuss Rules and Order and Procedure of Commission meetings including duties of the presiding officer, decorum, rules related to motions and other appropriate items. Further, the former section of this Resolution discussing the Agenda of the City Commission has been removed as it is duplicative of the procedures in the Agenda Preparation Administrative Policy which is the definitive authority for the City Commission Agenda process.
RECOMMENDATION:
The City Commission consider adoption of the amended and expanded Resolution setting procedures and schedules for Commission meetings.
