Del Rio council postpones decision on formal Rules of Order until July
Summary
The City Attorney asked whether the council wanted formal Rules of Order; Mayor Arreola proposed postponement due to the election period, Councilman DeReus opposed delay, and Councilman Lopez recommended July; Mayor Arreola set July as the target date.
The City Attorney asked the City Council whether it wished to adopt formal Rules of Order and whether the council preferred the proposed rules as drafted or with modifications. Because the city is in an election period, Mayor Alvaro Arreola suggested postponing consideration until after the elections. Councilman James DeReus said he preferred adopting rules now to promote consistency and allow future councils to amend them if needed. Councilman Jesus Lopez Jr. recommended postponing to July, citing continuing education opportunities at Texas Municipal League conferences. Mayor Arreola concluded by stating he would set July as the date for further consideration.
No formal action was taken at the meeting; the matter was set to return to council in July for further consideration.
