6. CONSENT AGENDA
The consent agenda is a meeting method many government councils use to help make meetings more efficient and meaningful to the members of the audience. All matters within the consent agenda have been distributed to each member of the City Council for review and study, and are considered routine and will be enacted by one motion of the Council with no separate discussion. If separate discussion is desired, that item may be removed from the consent agenda and placed on the Regular Agenda by request of a member of City Council. The expenditures listed in the consent agenda are items already approved in the current city budget.
