Title
Discussion: Periodic Review of Legislation Tracking Report.
Executive Summary: City Council members have asked to review (on a periodic basis) a report of discussion topics and legislation scheduled for upcoming Council Workshops and Meetings.
Body
Legislative History
None.
Purpose & Explanation
The 60-Day View Council Meetings Report is intended to provide a method for staff and Council to identify scheduled matters being prepared for Council discussion and legislation. It provides the tentative regular and special workshop and meeting dates on which identified items are expected to be brought forward to Council. It covers a rolling 60-day period. Items may fall off the list, or the expected date for Council consideration may change. Inclusion of an item on the list is not an indication that assembled information needed for Council's consideration is available. Legislative material and background information will typically be available with publication of Council meeting and workshop agendas.
This report is prepared and monitored daily for needed changes and additions by the Clerk of Council with direction from department managers and the administration. A current report is available to elected officials and staff on their iPads via the SmartSheet app.
An open discussion will provide an opportunity for Council members to ask questions and contemplate modifications in subject matter and timing.

Periodic Council reviews of the Legislative Tracking Reports are scheduled, beginning at the first workshop in May 2014 and every other month thereafter.
