MEMORANDUM
January 25, 1993
TO: VICE-MAYOR KEVIN McDERMOTT/~~
FROM: ALAN TANDY, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 2 04 BAKERSFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO COUNCIL MEETINGS
With your concurrence, I ask that the following proposed ordinance changes
be referred to the Legislative and Litigation Committee. A similar proposal was
previously brought to the Council in November which included an attempt to
streamline, through ordinance change, the process for handling Council
correspondence (Section 2.04.090). Since these issues were originally tied
together, I would ask that both be referred, the first to be addressed with an
ordinance and the second for information and further review. The second issue
would center on streamlining current procedures for handling issues which by law
have to be directed to specific areas or departments and would not necessarily
involve an ordinance change.
AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 2.04.070 OF THE BAKERSFIELD MUNICIPAL CODE RELATING TO THE
ORDER OF BUSINESS AT CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS.
Background:
The amendments as set forth in the attached proposed ordinance changes to
Section 2.04.070 will allow the Council to change the Agenda format at a
noticed council meeting with a two-thirds affirmative vote of the council,
allowing council to respond in a timely fashion to immediate needs
generated at a specific council meeting without changing the established
order of business in the existing City ordinance.
