Help!

I need some help with a question. If anyone has time, would someone track down and email me the legal authority for the use of a "consent agenda" by the City Commission?

Thanks!

I get $150.00 an hour for legal research and charge 15 minutes of billable time for phone calls. I'll also need a retainer...:o

Sorry, I'll need a resume.

And a quarter hour minimum? Ouch!

Is that it cost us to have SME 'write up' our water contract, where we continually get NOTHING in return?

Anon 7:34 pm forces us to listen to class warfare rhetoric for free...well, at least until the social communists complete the government takeover.

Think there is a chance Anon 7:34 would consider a donation in research for the right to continue promoting class warfare?

Naw...it would defeat the purpose of getting something for nothing at someone elses expense.

I think s/he was teasing...

Could it be there is no legal authority?

Maybe it was merely adopted procedure because everyone else seems to be doing it?

"Consent agendas are not to be used to hide actions that will be controversial -- to do so breaches the trust of the board and undermines the value of this practice."

It is also interesting that some places have a Pre-Consent Agenda.

When Randy Grey was Mayor over the present City Commissioners, they used the "Consent Agenda" to rob the citizens of their right to vote on the proposed power plant. Here is the reference:
