President Boyer urged the council members to check their e-mails for a
message from her soliciting topics for upcoming Lunch and Learns. The consensus
of council members with whom she has had conversation is a preference to hold
the Lunch and Learns only on the Monday of committee weeks. Ms. Boyer announced
that no shade meetings or other special meetings will be scheduled on the next
two City Council meeting days due to the expected length of the meetings as the
human rights ordinance is debated and has its public hearings. Any additional
meetings that must be held will be scheduled for the Mondays of Council weeks.
She briefly described the rules of procedure for the public comment and public
hearings on the human rights ordinance to evenly divide the speaking time among
the pro, con and undecided speakers until all speakers have spoken or until the
Council adjourns as prescribed at midnight.
Council Member Schellenberg requested emergency action tonight on
2017-28 (resolution recognizing and commending the Museum of Science and
History on the opening of its new Anne Frank exhibit.
