MEMO:
TO: Mayor & City Council Members
FROM: Sandra Modigh, City Clerk
DATE: January 29, 2016
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2016-03 and Policy No. 2016-01
At the January 20, 2016, meeting, Council requested the City Clerk and City Attorney
revise Council’s current committee/commission policy (Attachment A) to allow
committees & commissions the option to begin their meetings at 6:00 p.m., rather than
7:00 p.m. This requested revision is addressed in section 3(c) of Policy No. 2016-01
(Attachment B).
In addition to the amendment Council requested, several others revisions were made.
The policy was reformatted and numbered for consistency as other council policies are
drafted similarly.
The Advisory Cemetery Committee was removed from the policy as it sunsetted in 2010
and the Library Commission was updated to reflect its suspension in 2015. The term
“Board” was removed as this policy doesn’t apply to the Board of Adjustment, Personnel
Arbitration Board, Board of Appeals or the Canvass Board as each has regulations
specific to its respective Board.
The option for a meeting to be held offsite has been added, although this is already
currently practiced. There are times that the conference room(s) at the Library are used
due to scheduling conflicts, etc.
There were other housekeeping revisions such as reorganizing topics and updating
language.

Resolution No. 2016-03 Memorandum
Page 2 of 2
I would like Council to consider amending section 6(g) of the new policy by removing
the following language, “(three if a five-member board; four if a seven-member board;
five votes if a nine-member board)”. The language was carried over from the original
policy.
Pursuant to KMC l. l 5.060(k), all motions require a second. A majority of votes is
required to pass a motion (three, if a five-member board; four, if a seven-member
commission; five, votes if a nine-member board).
This language is confusing and leads one to believe that you must have the majority of
a body to pass a motion. Robert’s Rules of Order requires a majority of those present
and voting versus majority of the membership to pass or fail a motion. This requirement
as it’s currently reflected hinders a body from taking action if not all members are in
attendance.
There are specific motions outlined in KMC 1.15.060 that do require four members to
vote in the affirmative, i.e. previous question, motion to reconsider and a vote to rescind;
however, a main motion only requires the majority of those present.
Your consideration is appreciated.
