(C) Consent Agenda. A consent agenda may be used to improve the efficiency of meetings. <br />The consent agenda allows the Council to consider several items at one time. Only one motion is <br />necessary to approve all items on the consent agenda. <br />(1) Items that require findings of fact or an explanation of Council actions, such as <br />land use matters and the consideration of licensing requests, should not be placed <br />on the consent agenda. <br />(2) An item on the consent agenda may be removed from such agenda for full <br />consideration by the Council upon request made by any member of the Council. <br />Items removed from the consent agenda will be placed on the regular agenda for <br />discussion and consideration. <br />(D) Presentation, discussion: and agenda itenn decisions. The following is the order of <br />business for presenting and discussing items on Council agendas: <br />(1) Introduction of item; <br />(2) Report by staff or other presenter; <br />(3) Questions from Council members to the presenter in a round robin manner. The <br />Mayor will facilitate the round robin process by asking each individual Council <br />member for one question and allowing for a response to the individual question. <br />Then the Mayor will ask the next Council member, in sequence, until all Council <br />members have asked and received responses to a question. No Council member <br />shall take more than three minutes to ask a question or comment on an item which <br />is being presented before another Council member has a turn to question and <br />comment on the same item; <br />(4) Receive questions/comments from the applicant/requesting party to the Council, <br />and allow each Council member to respond in the round robin process; <br />(5) Allow questions from Council members to the applicant/requesting party, if <br />applicable, using the round robin process; <br />(6) Allow questions/comments from the public to Council members. Each member of <br />the public shall state his or her comments in three minutes; <br />(7) At the conclusion of the round robin process, the Mayor calls for a motion or <br />discussion among the Council. Discussion on any presentation shall be kept to a <br />minimum, and each Council member shall only speak once on the issue. This <br />action is not an indication that the motion on the table is the motion that will be <br />approved in its current form. It is purely for discussion purposes; <br />(8) Discussion among Council members using the round robin process; <br />11 <br />
