Clawson council approves new rules and procedures after clarifying ordinance will not be changed
Summary
Council adopted redlined rules and procedures March 17, clarifying they will not modify ordinance 2.63; the updated rules set review cadence, public-comment guidance and other meeting procedures.
The Clawson City Council voted March 17 to adopt a redlined set of rules and procedures governing council meetings and conduct after debate and several targeted amendments.
Council members repeatedly stated they did not intend to modify existing ordinance 2.63 and moved to codify that intent in the record. Council discussed specific edits to the rules and procedures — including the frequency of review after regular city elections, how public commenters identify residence and affiliations, wording around words of inspiration and timing for public comment at workshops.
A motion to finalize and approve the redlined rules and procedures carried on a roll call. Council members said the rules create a clearer foundation for how meetings will be run, and the mayor thanked participants for their input and engagement.
The adopted rules will be available as the council’s primary guidance for agenda order, public comment procedures and member orientation going forward.
