CITY OF ST. ANTHONY 2001 <br /> STANDING RULES FOR CONDUCT OF <br /> CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> In the belief that the best decisions are made by the best informed decision makers and <br /> that the public decision process is best served when the public has every opportunity to <br /> present views, the following rules are established to govern regular and special Council <br /> meetings as well as formal public hearings. There are several goals behind these rules. <br /> In general, free and open discussion by all interested parties should be an <br /> essential part of the decision-making process. <br /> The Council process should have as little procedural overhead as possible. <br /> Time is better spent on substantial matters rather than performa matters. <br /> MEMBERSHIP <br /> The formal Council membership consists of the four Councilmembers and the Mayor. All <br /> five have one vote each and all five can introduce motions. For purposes of leading the <br /> • meeting, the Mayor, or in the absence of the Mayor, the Acting Mayor, will be considered <br /> the Chairperson. A quorum of the Council is three members. A quorum is required to do <br /> official business. <br /> IVleetin°"`s o`ftheCouncil shallr'beheld a't Halli:<oi rthe�seccndaridfoiarth:T esda, =o,f. each <br /> month at 7:00 M m The meetiri h"e'Id3.ori=the'secorid`>Tuesdayofy^t------ n`fh°;:will tie <br /> conducted as aatud°`"se'ssion°and�onl' Councilgbu'siness deem'edr,necessarV�_b ,the <br /> CouncilmemEiets and`or.Cit vMa'na"'e'K',will'be acted "u on 'Tlie Council meetin .h'eld;omthe <br /> fourth'Tuesd'a :ofwthe.m'onthwill1be conducted'asFare ular:Courcilh<rneetinJ` i.durin `which <br /> the'- reat:ma'orijjof.
