MINUTES OF THE OROHO COUNCIL MEETING OP APRIL 24, 1989 ORDINANCE AMENDMENT 2.05 CONTINUED He said that he had met with CounciImember Goetten and discussed her concerns. He said that the requirement of a unanimous consent to change an agenda was extraordinary, although he found that to be common among other cities as well. He said that the reasoning behind this requirement is for the benefit of the public attending the meeting. He also noted that this provision would be consistent with the method for calling emergency meetings. The issue of providing people with the opportunity to be heard would be addressed in item #9 which would allow for reports from the Mayor and Counci Imember of items not listed on the agenda. Barrett said that the Council may wish to consio=%r adopting the agenda with a 3/5th vote, however he could not address how that would tie into the requirement of the agenda being prepared 7 days in advance of the meeting. City Attorney Barrett summarized his findings by stating that the provision of setting the agenda prior to the meeting would provide a protection more fcr persons more likely to be in the minority, rather that the majority. It would prevent a group from arriving at a meeting and announcing a special agenda item that may be passed without the opportunity for any opposition to be raised. This protection is in keeping with the Roberts' Rules of Order. It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by CounciImember Nettles, to adopt Ordinance 466, Second Series, as an amendment to Section 2.05 regarding the required order on the agenda. Motion, Ayes®5, Nays*0, Motion passed. LICENSES CounciImember Peterson asked for the reason why Mr. Thomas Anderson required a kennel license for one dog. City Administrator Bernhardson stated that he would have to investigate and respond at a later time. CounciImember Goetten asked whether the trapping permit was for live trapping. Chief Kilbo said it was for leghold. He further commented that for trapping a beaver, a live trap would not work. Goetten said that live trapping was much more humane and she could not vote for a leghold trapping permit. Bernhardson said that he would look into this matter further.
