A. The stated meetings of the City Council shall be held at a place designated by the City Council on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month; provided, that when any meeting occurs on a general holiday, the meeting shall be held on the next succeeding day. The Council may hold other or special meetings at such times it determines to be convenient.

B. All meetings may be adjourned from time to time as business may require. The hour of regular meetings shall be seven p.m.

C. All regular City Council meetings may be preceded by a pre-meeting workshop for the purpose of allowing the Council to receive staff reports and recommendations on regular meeting agenda items. The workshop shall commence one-half hour before the meeting, or such longer period of time as the Council shall by notice designate.

D. All pre-meeting workshops shall be open to the public, but shall not be regarded as “public hearings” for the purposes of allowing testimony or comment from the public.

E. Pre-meeting workshops shall be conducted in an informal manner in the discretion of the governing body. Final action on any ordinance, resolution, or agenda item reviewed at a pre-meeting workshop shall be reserved for the regular meeting.
