Summary

The council president exercised his authority to pull a citizen communication (item 5) from the council agenda, saying the communication did not deal with city council business; the council later received and filed the item.

The council president told members he had pulled a citizen communication (item 5) off the agenda because "there's really nothing in the communication that deals with city council business," and said allowing non-pertinent communications would "open a floodgate." The item was removed from the agenda during the caucus.

Later the council moved to remove item 5 from the table and to receive and file it; both procedural motions passed by voice vote. No substantive council action on the communication was taken at the meeting beyond receiving and filing the item.
