MEETING DATE: July 5, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: IX. IX. B. 4
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Jocelyn Bronson, Town Clerk
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-82: Relating to the Town Council; adopting
the re-formatted Town Council meeting agenda.
DISCUSSION
At the June 21, 2005 Council meeting, staff presented an agenda re-format to Council for
consideration. Council directed staff to bring the re-format back to Council for possible adoption
at tonight's meeting. The re-formatted agenda is attached as Exhibit A to the resolution.
The agenda format was originally part of the Marana Town Code, Appendix A to Section 2-4-4,
but was repealed by Ordinance No. 2000.21 on November 7, 2000 to provide flexibility in
allowing the format to reflect current practice. Therefore, the re-formatted agenda may be
adopted by resolution.
Also during the June 21, 2005 presentation of the re-formatted agenda, staff proposed Council
consideration of a time change from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. There was indication that Council
wanted to discuss the time change further with their constituents. The time change does require
revision by ordinance, and staff will be pleased to bring the time change back to Council for
consideration and adoption at a future date if they so desire.
ATTACHMENT
Exhibit A - re-formatted agenda.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the re-formatted Council agenda.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2005-82.
