AGENDA |
DOORS OPEN at 6:30pm. VOLUNTEER 01 discovers some vending machines off to the side and, since they're early, stock up on snacks. Just in case. VOLUNTEER 02 and VOLUNTEER 03 come together, armed with notepads and pencils to take notes. They claim seats up front, nearest to the podium. COPIES OF the agenda are placed on a table just inside the council chambers for anyone who wishes to grab a copy. VOLUNTEER 04 grabs one as proof that they came, since ACADEMY PROFESSOR is offering extra credit to any of their students who attend and provide a write up of the experience. Attendees will notice that public hearings (open floor) will happen towards the end of the evening. VOLUNTEER 05 decides to try their luck and come back in an hour, hoping to miss the boring stuff. DOORS CLOSE promptly as 7pm, and the Council walks out in a single file line. They take their seats while COUNCILOR WOODS calls the meeting to order. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. All in attendance are asked to stand and recite the pledge, which is briefly interrupted when VOLUNTEER 06 arrives late and the door slams behind them. ROLL CALL. COUNCILOR SCOTT takes roll. COUNCILOR BERRY is found to be absent, but quorom is met, and the meeting will continue. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES. COUNCILOR WOODS distributes the minutes from February 9th, 2017 for review and consideration of the Council. COUNCILOR SCOTT notes a discrepancy from the previous Consent agenda. VOLUNTEER 07, who is attending a Council meeting for the first time, asks their neighbour what they're doing, but are shushed. The meeting minutes of February 9th, 2017 are approved with the amendments called out by COUNCILOR SCOTT. PRESENTATIONS. The Council smoothly moves onto the next order of business and calls on VOLUNTEER 08 to come to the podium to present [subject of choice!]. COUNCILOR WALLACE and COUNCILOR BROWN ask questions about the presentation, which VOLUNTEER 08 does their best to answer. After twenty minutes of discussion, the Council moves to add [SUBJECT] to the Consent agenda for March 9th, 2017. CITIZEN COMMUNICATIONS. This agenda item is prefaced by COUNCILOR BROWN saying that if there are any concerns about the communications that they are about to announce, questions may be raised during the public hearings portion of the agenda. They then reiterate MAYOR DANBY'S ANNOUNCMENT about the items. VOLUNTEER 09 scribbles down a few questions on the back of their copy of the agenda so as not to forget them. CONSENT AGENDA. Before beginning this item, it is explained to the attendees that there will be no discussion on the items to be voted on as they have been discussed at length in previous open and closed door sessions. COUNCILOR WALLACE addresses the Council to see if there are any members who wish to remove an item for additional discussion. COUNCILOR SCOTT asks to remove PARK PERMIT RESTRICTIONS. The amended consent agenda is approved unanimously. COUNCILOR WALLACE moves to approve the following items: HYDROPONIC STORE ZONING - 8 yeas ; 2 nays PUBLIC HEARINGS & OTHER NEW BUSINESS.

They can also ask the Council to consider future items of business. ooc: please see the comments for this! OLD BUSINESS & PASSAGE OF ORDINANCE ON SECOND READING. There is no old business or ordinances to pass, so this item is skipped. VOLUNTEER 10 asks loudly why it was on the agenda if there was nothing to discuss. ADJOURNMENT. The meeting is adjourned at 9:57pm. COUNCILOR SCOTT and COUNCILOR SIMMONS stay behind, willing to field additional questions or just chat with the attendees. |
