(B) Public recognition. All special presentations and announcements will be calendared and coordinated through the City Clerk. A period of time, not to exceed fifteen (15) minutes, will be set aside for public recognition at each City Council meeting.
(C) Consent agenda. Consent agenda items are considered to be routine and noncontroversial, with documentation provided to the Council that is adequate and sufficient for approval without inquiry or discussion. The consent agenda is intended to minimize the time required for the handling of any noncontroversial matters and permit additional time to be spent on more significant matters. Any item on the consent agenda will be moved to the regular agenda upon request from any Council member. Agenda items removed from the consent agenda by the request of a Council member will be considered during the regular agenda.
