MINI7TES CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 10, 1994 Agenda is sent for publication on Thursday~s at noon, any agenda request made after that time will either be delayed until a future Council agenda, or submitted to the Council in a separate packet. This way, the City Council is aware of which Council agenda items have been published, and which have not. Morelan indicated that there have been a couple of times where agenda items have not been published and the general public is not aware that these items are going to be considered by the Council. Morelan felt that the new procedure was a way to keep citizenry better informed. Scalze indicated that the original purpose of publishing the floor agenda was to keep citizens better informed, and the proposed aqenda policy will tighten up that system. Hanson stated that publishing the Floor Agenda has been done as a courtesy, and pointed out that the Council has considered issues from the general public appearing at the meetings. Hanson stated that he had no problem with the proposed policy if staff had no concerns about it. Hanson stated that he has not been alerted to any problems that have occurred under the current system.
