The Board adopted Resolution 1539 to amend the board's rules of order to correct an inconsistency with code sections dealing with double readings.
City Attorney Patrick explained the measure is a targeted correction to bring the rules into alignment with sections 79.130 and 130.050 of the code and described the rules as "living, breathing documents." He said staff plans a full review and comprehensive revision to ensure consistent language across the rules and the municipal code. The board carried the resolution on a voice vote.
The action clarifies procedural inconsistency now and schedules a fuller revision later.
