Mr. Edgar stated that this matter was placed on the Council agenda per Council request in order to review all material and make a recommend- ation. Councilman Mori stated that it is his belief that proclamations should have a separate place on the agenda in order to be made public. He stated that as we don't have many proclamations, it wouldn't take too much time to read them as they come up. Councilman Reid divided proclamations into three categories: (1) Those that have no pertinence to the community at large and have no sig- nificant input to the City should be reviewed by the mayor and the City staff. (2) The remaining proclamations that are routine might be appropriately put on the consent calendar. (3) Those proclamations that do have a real signficance to the people of our community might be put under Matters For The Information Of The Council, or some place where they are highlighted. He further indicated that he believed that pro-- clamations of real significance are picked up by the local media and given adequate coverage. The consent calendar is used to streamline the process of local government. Councilman Kinney indicated his feeling that proclamations should be selectively read. Councilman Herlihy stated that the Council may not feel inclined to approve a particular one~ if on the consent calendar, but it could be removed for separate discussion. Mayor Pearson stated that it might be hard to differentiate the importance of individual proclamations. They should be put on the consent calendar, and if anyone has objections to a particular one, it can be taken off the consent calendar and considered separately. It was moved by Councilman Reid and seconded by Councilman Kinney that the present procedure regarding the consent calendar is acceptable to the City Council and should be retained. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmen Herlihy, Kinney, Reid and Mayor Pearson NOES: Councilman Mori ABSENT: None Councilman Mori explained that he feels proclamations should be separate items on the Council agenda.
