Summary
The Town of University Park Policy, Rules & Municipal Structure Committee met Feb. 23 and continued work on draft Rules of Procedure, discussing a preamble, renumbering of §2.20 to §2.19, and the need for clearer guidance on main motions and precedence for §2.23; minutes from Jan. 26 were deferred.
The Town of University Park Policy, Rules & Municipal Structure Committee met on Feb. 23, 2026, and continued drafting its proposed Rules of Procedure, focusing on Article 1 and the structure of motion-related provisions. Chair Grant Godfrey opened the 7:30 p.m. session and led discussion of whether to include a preamble and how to reorder or remove other provisions to keep the rules clear and usable.
Committee members agreed to a renumbering change—§2.20 was revised and is now §2.19—and signaled the need to add clearer direction about handling main motions and rules of precedence under §2.23. The Chair said he has materials that may be helpful to draft explicit guidance. The committee did not take a formal vote on the rule language; further drafting and circulation were indicated as next steps.
