9.2 Agenda Amendments The agenda may be amended as provided in Section 6.5.4 Reordering of Agenda and Section 7.7 Continuance of Agenda Items. 9.3 Consent Calendar The consent calendar portion of the agenda is for routine items such as: approval of minutes5, resolutions confirming actions from a previous meeting, the introduction and adoption of ordinances6, and the processing of administrative items such as the approval of contracts, the acceptance of public improvements, and other routine items requiring City Council approval by ordinance, resolution, or law. Prior to taking action on the Consent Calendar, a Councilmember may ask questions about, or comment on, a Consent calendar item without moving the item from the Consent Calendar. Any Councilmember may pull an item from the Consent Calendar for separate discussion. Members of the public may address the City Council on consent calendar items by following the procedures set forth in Section 11 Public Participation. Speakers are generally limited to three (3) minutes, or as determined by the Mayor. The items on the consent calendar are generally approved by the City Council by a single motion. 9.4 Meeting Open to the Public This portion of the agenda is for City proclamations to recognize significant community events, people, or days. The City Manager, or designee, may develop a policy regarding proclamations as a guide. It is also for the City Council confirmation of appointments to advisory bodies and to administer the oath of office to advisory body members. As authorized by the Mayor or the City Manager, this portion of the agenda is also for other local, regional, or state legislative bodies and elected officials to make brief presentations to the City Council concerning activities of interest to the City. These are ceremonial matters and not action items by the City Council. While the preference is for proclamations to be included in the posted agenda, the desire to recognize a significant community event, person, or day may arise or be discovered after an agenda is posted. In that case, the Mayor may make additional proclamations at a City Council meeting so long as they do not unduly interfere with the City Council's business. 5 The City Council waives the full reading of the minutes when the City Clerk has provided a copy of the minutes to the City Council in advance of the meeting. 6 The first reading and introduction of any ordinance on the Consent Calendar will include a reading of the title by the City Clerk, City Attorney or Mayor. The second reading and adoption of an ordinance on the Consent Calendar will note on the agenda when a Councilmember voted "No", abstained or recused from the first reading and introduction; which will be reflecting in the vote tally of the final ordinance. The City Council waives the full reading of all ordinances at time of introduction and adoption per 36934.
