   The City Administrator shall prepare an agenda of the business to be presented at a regular Council meeting.

§ 30.29 CONSENT CALENDAR.

   In order to make more efficient use of meeting time, the Administrator shall place all ordinances, resolutions, approvals of minutes and expenditures, approvals of Planning Committee actions and such other matters which are routine in nature and concerning which no debate is expected on a consent calendar. Any item placed on the consent calendar shall be removed at the request of the Mayor or any Council member prior to the time a vote is taken on the consent calendar. All remaining items on the consent calendar shall be disposed of by a single motion to adopt the consent calendar, which shall not be debatable. Adoption of the consent calendar shall be by the affirmative vote of all Council members present at the time the vote is taken and shall have the same effect as a separate vote for each item. If there are dissenting votes, each item on the consent agenda shall be voted upon separately in the usual manner.
