Everett City Council adopts 2024 rules for use in 2025
Summary
At the Jan. 6 organizational meeting the Everett City Council voted 11-0 to adopt its 2024 council rules as the rules for 2025.
The Everett City Council unanimously adopted an order to use the council’s 2024 rules as the rules for 2025 during its Jan. 6 organizational meeting.
The clerk read the item on the calendar as Item 1: an order offered by a senior member to adopt the 2024 rules of the city council as the rules for 2025. A motion to take the item for favorable action was made and seconded, and the clerk called the roll. The clerk announced 11 ayes and 0 nays, and the council adopted the rules.
Why it matters: Council rules determine procedures for debate, public comment, committee referrals and other meeting conduct; adopting the rules sets the procedural framework the council will follow for the year.
The transcript records no substantive amendments to the rules at the meeting; the motion as read was approved without recorded dissent. The clerk announced 11 members present for the vote. No additional background documents or statutory citations were presented during the discussion at this meeting.
The adoption completed the first formal action of the council’s organizational session and paved the way for the subsequent election of a council president.
