Council adopts action‑item policy to formalize tracking and removal rules
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 2026‑06R establishing a formal action‑item policy: three council members (including mayor) can place items on the list, staff may remove completed items, and items from former members can be retired; council asked staff to implement clarifying edits discussed at the meeting.
City Manager Ken Leatham introduced a proposed policy to govern city council action items: the policy defines an action item, requires three council‑member affirmative responses to add an item to the action list (the mayor counts as one), outlines the procedure to amend or remove items (including the sponsor’s presence when possible), and authorizes staff to move completed items to a completed section. Councilors debated minor clarifications (for example, the treatment of items when a sponsoring council member leaves office) and asked staff to incorporate language allowing a current council member to concur to add or remove items that were previously sponsored by a now‑absent member.
After brief discussion and minor edits agreed on the record, a council member moved to adopt Resolution 2026‑06R; the motion was seconded and the council approved the policy.
