8. GENERAL BUSINESS
General action items in which the City Council receives information from city staff or consultants and after deliberation acts on the item under
consideration. General Business items are not opportunities to receive or provide public input. However, the City Council may, at its sole
discretion, solicit public feedback.
9. WORK SESSION
Work Sessions are less formal meetings of the City Council to encourage dialog between themselves, staff, consultants and invited members of
the public. The Council does not typically take official action on items under discussion. At the conclusion of a discussion, a simple Council
consensus provides staff direction for execution of the item. This portion of the agenda is audio recorded but not video recorded or broadcast.
Work Sessions are open to the public, however, visitors who wish to provide input must be invited by the Mayor, assume a seat at the discussion
table and provide their full name and address for the official record.
