(A) The Mayor and the City Manager shall prepare together the agenda for each meeting. In the absence of the Mayor or City Manager, or his or her official designees, the other may set the agenda individually.
(B) Any person desiring inclusion of agenda items (including Councilors, committees, the City Attorney and City Recorder) shall direct these to the Mayor and City Manager. This agenda shall be closed for further items at 5:00 p.m. on the Tuesday preceding the meeting except in the case of special meetings. All background materials shall be submitted by the following day, unless otherwise authorized by the Mayor or Manager.
(C) No vote shall be allowed on items not on the published agenda with the exception of an emergency. Any member of the Council may introduce an item not on the agenda if it constitutes an emergency. Emergency placement of an item onto the agenda requires a unanimous vote of the Council members present.
(D) A majority of the Council may approve the placement of a non-emergency item on the agenda; however, in order to provide adequate public notice, all non-emergency items shall be placed on the next regular agenda.
