Rules committee proposes fixed meeting schedule; attorney to circulate guidance
Summary
The presiding officer announced a proposal to move regular committee and Tribal Council meetings to a consistent calendar (second Monday and last Thursday) and said Attorney John Young will circulate an explainer; the change will be placed on the next rules committee agenda for action.
At the Jan. 12 special Rules Committee meeting the presiding officer announced a plan to standardize the council’s meeting schedule to ease agenda preparation and reduce months with tight timelines.
The presiding officer said the committee intends to move regular committee and Tribal Council meetings to the second Monday of each month and schedule Rules Committee meetings (and subcommittees E and F) for the last Thursday of each month. He said Attorney John Young, Esquire, will distribute an explanatory email to members (expected soon) and that the scheduling proposal will be put on the upcoming regular Rules Committee meeting for discussion and formal action.
The presiding officer framed the change as an effort to streamline the process and ensure agendas can be prepared with adequate lead time; no specific amendment to the constitution or policies was presented in the transcript, and committee discussion or votes on a formal scheduling amendment were not recorded.
Next steps: Attorney John Young is expected to send the explainer to committee members; the proposal will be placed on the rules committee agenda later this month for consideration and any formal action.
