In preparation of the agenda for each meeting of Council, the Vice-Mayor may designate a “consent” portion of the agenda, which may include reports from various departments, bid awards, appointments to boards and commissions, citizen recognitions, ordinances and resolutions and such other matters as Council determines. Action on any item on the consent portion of the agenda shall be taken by the unanimous consent of all members of Council in attendance. Action on any item on the consent portion of the agenda shall not eliminate the need for a greater majority vote if one is called for by the Charter or these Codified Ordinances. At the request of any single member of Council, an item in the consent portion of the agenda can be removed and placed on a later portion of the agenda for regular action.
