SUBJECT:
Title
INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 19-1903 AMENDING SECTION 2404 (PRESENTING MATTERS TO COUNCIL - AGENDAS) OF CHAPTER 4 (CITY OFFICERS - COUNCIL CHAMBERS - MEETINGS) OF THE CARSON MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING THE MANNER OF PREPARING AGENDAS AND PRESENTING MATTERS TO COUNCIL (CITY COUNCIL) (PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION BY MAYOR ROBLES)
Body
I. SUMMARY
This item originally appeared on the January 28, 2019 agenda but was continued to the February 5 regular meeting because ordinances cannot be considered or introduced at special meetings. A motion to introduce the ordinance was approved at the February 5 meeting, but this item was then requested to be reconsidered. The reconsideration before Council is only on the motion from the February 5, 2019 Council meeting. If the motion to reconsider fails, then the motion from the February 5, 2019, Council meeting stands and the item has been introduced at first reading.
Carson Municipal Code Section 2404 establishes the procedure for presenting matters to the City Council on the Council meeting agenda. The proposed ordinance amends Section 2404 of the Carson Municipal Code to both allow individual Councilmembers to place items on Council agendas, as well as to provide for reasonable deadlines on such requests absent a bona fide emergency.
II. RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
The original motion made on February 5, 2019 and now to be reconsidered is:
Discuss and then consider for INTRODUCTION for first reading by title only and with further reading waived, Ordinance No. 19-1903, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Carson, California, Amending Section 2404 (Presenting Matters to Council - Agendas) of Chapter 4 (City Offices - Council Chambers - Meetings) of Article II (Administration) of the Carson Municipal Code Regarding the Manner of Preparing Agendas and Presenting Matters to Council.
