§ 111.15. The city council agenda.

The purpose of the city council agenda is to provide an outline for the orderly and efficient conduct of their weekly business meetings. The agenda sets forth the specific items of business and the order in which city council will consider them.

A consent action creates a procedure, which when incorporated as part of the regular city council agenda, is designed to facilitate operational and noncontroversial matters on the agenda swiftly and efficiently. In accordance with Section 111.14 of the Columbus City Codes, and in consultation with the president of council, ordinances and resolutions to be identified as consent actions will be presented to council on the agenda. Consent action shall be taken only upon emergency legislation or second readings of thirty (30) day legislation. Rules and regulations for its implementation and operation will be published in the City Bulletin in accordance with Section 121.05 of the Columbus City Codes. Items identified as consent actions shall be read together as a group and approved with one (1) motion and one (1) roll call vote. The motion to approve or adopt shall be by reference to the assigned number of each ordinance or resolution so designated.

Any legislation approved as a consent action will appear in the minutes of council and it shall be noted that it was approved as a consent action. A request by a member of council to remove legislation from consent action shall automatically be deemed granted without the need for a motion and vote of the entire council.
