February 19, 2026 Consent Agenda

[Shane Saum]

Dear Council Members,

On Thursday we have 8 consent agenda items on the agenda. I admit, some of these are wishful thinking on my part in hopes we can move forward to other business. To help facilitate speeding up the meeting. If you have any concerns on a consent agenda item, could we discuss them here in the discussion board prior to the meeting. If it appears there are easy fixes to any of these items, we can make them prior to the meeting and keep them on consent. If there are items you know you cannot come to consensus on and intend to pull off of the consent agenda without discussion on this board, please let me know and I will plan accordingly.

For your reference, here are the 8 items:

1. Action regarding the January 15, 2026, City Council Meeting Minutes.
2. Action regarding the February 5, 2026, City Council Meeting Minutes.
3. Consideration and possible action to approve Resolution No. 26-2194 dissolution of the Economic Development Committee.
4. Consideration and possible action regarding the designation of an Acting City Manager in the event of an emergency, absence, or disability.
5. Consideration and possible action to appoint code diagnostic sub-committee.
6. Consideration and possible action to approve Ordinance No. 26-02-19-01; Amending Chapter 9, Article 9.8, Section 9.805 Of The Code Of Ordinances Also Known As “Duties And Powers”; Providing For A Finding Of Fact Clause; Providing For Severability; Providing For A Repealer; Providing An Effective Date; Providing For A Projects In Transition Clause; Providing For A Codification And Publication Clause And Providing An Open Meetings Clause.
7. Consideration and possible action regarding amendments to the Rules of Procedure and Ethics policies.
8. Consideration and possible action regarding the removal of the City Council social media policy.

Thank you in advance for your collaboration.

Best regards,

Shane

As of now: 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 should be removed.

I would ask that Items 7 & 8 come off the consent agenda.

7. Consideration and possible action regarding amendments to the Rules of Procedure and Ethics policies: I don't think we have had a complete discussion on the proposed revisions to these documents. I am in favor of amending / updating them both. However, the proposed versions were not redlined so it's taking more time to compare current with proposed. Additionally, I think something as important as Ethics and Rules of Procedure revisions should be highlighted as separate agenda items.
8. Consideration and possible action regarding the removal of the City Council social media policy: I thought we were considering taking the approach of guidelines on SM, and/or even a "Code of Conduct" approach the Mayor Pro Tem proposed, which could include guidelines on SM. These guidelines should specifically include the advice and recommendations we have received from our legal counsel.
