(a) All materials related to an agenda item requiring council action will be delivered to the city clerk’s office in its complete and final format.
(b) At the request of any one council member, an item may be removed from the consent agenda and placed on the regular agenda whenever that council member believes additional discussion on the item is necessary.
(c) The proposed agenda shall be posted at the city clerk’s office and placed on the city’s website. An email notice shall also be sent to all persons who have requested notice pursuant to law by the close of business on the Friday preceding any meeting to take place on the following Tuesday. Proposed additions to the agenda, in their complete and final format, including a signed agenda approval form, shall be delivered to the city clerk’s office no later than Monday at 12:00 p.m. before the Tuesday meeting the next day. These items shall be listed as “Items added after agenda deadline” on a revised agenda which shall be posted, placed on the website and noticed at least 24 hours in advance of the Tuesday meeting to the council, the mayor, the directors and all persons who have requested notice pursuant to law. The sponsor(s) of any item added after the agenda deadline shall provide an email notice to the city council members and the city clerk’s office by 4:00 p.m. the day prior to consideration by the city council. The notice shall include a statement regarding the background and objective of the proposed item and shall be posted to the city’s website by the city clerk’s office upon its receipt. However, the provisions of this section do not apply to any information that is specifically exempt from disclosure under state public record laws in effect at the time. Additional printed material may be distributed to the governing body in accordance with SDCL 1-27-1.16. A technological problem or failure that either prevents the posting of public notices on a website or that temporarily or permanently prevents the use of all or part of the website does not preclude the holding of the meeting for which the notice was posted, if the public body complies with all other public notice requirements.
(d) During consideration of new business, the mayor or any two city council members may bring before the city council any business that person feels should be deliberated upon by the city council. These matters can be added to the agenda by a vote of six city council members and will be considered under new business. Formal action on these matters shall be deferred until a subsequent city council meeting, unless consideration is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety of the municipal government. If the city council chooses to take immediate action on the newly calendared agenda item, an affirmative vote of six members of the council is required for approval. This subsection shall not apply to any action to remove the city attorney under city charter § 4.03 or a city council appointed employee. Any action to remove the city attorney under city charter § 4.03 or a city council appointed employee shall be subject to the provisions of § 30.022(b).
