Plano City Council formalized a policy that will apply to the governmental body as well as many other city boards and commissions.
The new policy adopted during the Dec. 19 meeting establishes procedural guidelines for requesting future agenda items for deliberation while protecting city staff time.
The overview
To request a new item, a council member must put together a memo and receive a second from another council member before the request heads to the city manager to be processed by city staff, according to the new policy. Requests for new agenda items can be made both during an open meeting of the council or outside the meeting directly to the city manager.
