Title

Action to Suspend Council Rules for Work Session

Recommended Action

I move that Council suspend their procedural rules for this work session, August 22, 2017, so that formal action may be taken.

Body

The 2017 Los Alamos County Council Procedural Rules identifies a Work Session as follows:

 

"Work Session.  The Council may schedule work sessions on a regular basis under the requirements of the annual Open Meetings Resolution.  Council meetings designated as work sessions shall be held for the primary purpose of discussing issues at length with staff in an informal setting without taking formal action.  Public comment will generally be taken only at the beginning and ending."

 

This action would suspend that rule for this meeting to enable Council to take formal action on an agenda item scheduled for this work session.
