ACT Committee clears draft policy for outside presentation requests, recommends two-week submission and 5–25 minute slots
Summary
The committee reviewed a draft presentation-request policy that would require outside presenters to submit materials two weeks in advance so items can be posted online; the policy proposes 5–25 minute limits depending on context and was recommended to a work session for finalization.
The ACT Committee reviewed a proposed policy on Nov. 11 to standardize how outside organizations request presentation time.
Presenters (staff) recommended a two-week submission deadline to ensure materials are posted online and available to the public and committee chairs before meetings. The draft suggests presentation lengths that would generally range from 5 to 25 minutes depending on the nature of the request and committee needs. The policy aims to prevent surprise materials brought in at the meeting and give chairs time to prepare.
Council members supported the draft with minor edits and recommended it to the work session for final review and adoption.
