• 6.1 Discussion of Council Initiated Items on Council Agendas <br /> Johnson referred to his memo on the subject which suggested that council-initiated items be used <br /> only for scheduling matters for consideration at a later council meeting or for making brief <br /> informational reports which might interest the council with no further action being required. <br /> This might result in council asking for further information from staff. Johnson further suggested <br /> that a Councilmember could schedule an item under New Business if they wanted to place <br /> something on the agenda and if they wished it could clearly state that it was at their request it was <br /> on the agenda. Johnson did not believe that Council could intelligently discuss an issue without a <br /> staff report therefore council initiated items should not be agendized expecting a full discussion <br /> and decision. Casey noted that the Mayor and City Manager set the agenda and the reason why <br /> council initiated items were placed on an agenda was to give a Councilmember the opportunity to <br /> raise an issue without having five Councilmembers setting the agenda. Dauber referred to the <br /> Town's Municipal Code which states that the City Manager may place on the agenda for any <br /> regular or special meeting any item which he deems of interest to the Council. Dauber believed <br /> that any Councilmember could place an item under council initiated and then the Council had <br /> three options. These options included: 1) discuss; 2) direct staff to prepare a report and <br /> reagendize; or 3) decide it was not appropriate for a Council discussion. <br /> PASSED BY CONSENSUS: It was agreed the Mayor would draft a policy on Council-Initiated <br /> Items on Council Agendas for the next Council Meeting. <br /> • 7. REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES, SUB-COMMITTEES, AND COUNCILMEMBERS <br /> ON OUTSIDE AGENCIES <br /> 7.1 WebPage Subcommittee <br /> Johnson reported that the webpage now included a chronological listing of Council and Planning <br /> Commission agendas and minutes as well as a search by key word function. He also reported <br /> that the Parcel Data Base was on the webpage but there were some problems with this part of the <br /> webpage. Also at the 2/3/00 Adjourned Regular Council Meeting Council had agreed to <br /> agendize a discussion of the privacy issues related to information available on the webpage and <br /> this discussion was scheduled for the 3/16/00 Council Meeting. <br /> Mike Scott, Black Mountain Road, recommended that prior to the 3/16/00 Council Meeting the <br /> information be available on what was on the Town's webpage, particularly concerning the parcel <br /> data base. Council assured Mr. Scott that the report would be quite detailed. <br /> 7.2 Utility and Information Systems Committee <br /> Johnson stated his concerns about some of this issues being discussed by the Utility and <br /> Information Systems Committee at their meetings. One issue of particular concern was their <br /> discussion of a utility tax and Johnson urged the Council liaisons (Casey and Finn) to remind the <br /> committee that such a tax would need an approval vote of the residents. Casey stated that she has <br /> • advised the committee that they need to submit written proposals to the Council for approval of <br /> such recommendations. <br /> March 2, 2000 <br /> Regular City Council Meeting <br /> 4 <br />
