OAR 345-011-0020: Agendas for Regular Meetings

(1) The Council Secretary shall prepare an agenda for each regular Council meeting after consulting with the chair. On the agenda, the Secretary shall specify all matters scheduled to come before the Council at the meeting and shall identify the proponent of agenda items scheduled at the request of a member of the public as described in OAR 345-011-0035. (2) On the agenda, the Secretary may include a consent calendar, identifying items that the Secretary considers to be routine, such as minutes of previous meetings and personnel recognitions, which will be acted upon without public discussion. However, if a Council member objects to an item on the consent calendar, it will be removed from the consent calendar and placed on the regular agenda for discussion. (3) The Secretary shall include on each agenda a notice that time will be reserved at each meeting for the presentation of concerns by interested citizens who wish to address the Council regarding any item within the Council's jurisdiction except matters that are closed to public comment as specified in the notice. The chair shall establish the duration of the time for public comment and may lengthen or shorten it at the Council meeting as the length of the meeting and timing and duration of other Council business dictate. (4) The Secretary shall send the agenda to Council members by regular mail or email at least one week before a regular meeting and shall include draft minutes of previous meetings, as available. The Secretary shall send the agenda to each person or organization on the Council's general mailing list by regular mail or email. The “general mailing list” is the list of persons who have requested all Council meeting and facility siting mailings.
