CityCouncil | 2011-01-04 | 15 | Vice Mayor Bonta stated reconvening the Closed Session after the City Council meeting is the appropriate thing to do; Oral Communications, Phase 1, needs to be pushed up on the agenda. Mayor Gilmore stated the proposed change should be tried; the order can be changed if necessary. Councilmember Johnson stated pushing agenda items off to the next Council Meeting is not a practical idea; conducting City business is the purpose of City Council meetings and needs to be a priority. Mayor Gilmore stated the Sunshine Task Force is not recommending ending the Council meetings at a certain time, but not to bring up new items after a certain time. Councilmember Tam moved approval of directing staff to come back with a resolution to amend the order of business to reflect having Oral Communications in two parts and moving City Manager Communications after Item 7. Vice Mayor Bonta seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5.
