Agenda
Ordinances and resolutions are introduced as new legislation at council meetings and can be viewed on the Agenda. Items may be declared emergencies and voted on immediately or referred to the regular agenda for the next committee and council meetings. There is a short summary of each ordinance and resolution (also called the title clause), organized by the committee to which the legislation is assigned. You may view the legislation by clicking on an item and viewing the supporting document. This short video explains how to navigate the agenda.
