Springdale council holds work session on meeting rules and conduct

The Springdale Town Council met in a special work session on April 3 at the Canyon Community Center to review its rules of procedure and a broader code of conduct. Mayor Barbara Bruno opened the meeting and the council heard a staff presentation explaining that state law requires public bodies to adopt procedural rules; Tom Denzy, the staff contact, said the town’s rules were originally adopted in 2012 and the meeting‑procedure section was revised in 2023. "The state law requires um all public bodies to adopt rules of procedure for the operation of their meetings," Denzy told the council.

Council members emphasized that the session was a work meeting and no final action was to be taken. The council agreed to direct staff to draft revisions and return with a formal ordinance or policy for adoption at a future meeting. Initial actions recorded in the session include a motion to approve the work meeting agenda by Council member Randy Eton with a second from Pat Campbell; the formal vote tally was not specified in the transcript.
