SUBJECT:
Title
ADOPT AMENDED COUNCIL POLICY 1.1.02 (FORMALLY SMP 1.56) RELATED TO COUNCIL COMMUNICATIONS (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The City Council recently adopted Ordinance No. 18-1801 regarding mass mailings by elected officials in the City of Carson. In addition, the City Council considered revisions to Council Policy and Procedure 1.1.02 (formally Standard Management Procedure 1.56) which governs the “preparation and dissemination of flyers, handouts, invitations, and other printed communications” at city expense.
The City’s Standard Management Procedures are in the process of being divided and converted into City Council Policies and Procedures and Administrative Policies and Procedures.
Following consideration of these two items, it was determined that Ordinance No. 18-1801 could proceed forward for adoption on second reading without further modification.
However, staff and the City Attorney were directed to “tweak” the original draft of Council Policy and Procedure 1.1.02 to be consistent with the discussions of the City Council. Because those “tweaks” involved more than minor revisions to the SMP, the same is returned to the City Council for formal adoption.
The fine tuning of the original draft of Council Policy and Procedure 1.1.02 are reflected in bold & italic text changes in the attached iteration of the Council Policy and Procedure and is ready for City Council formal approval.
