Change city council meeting times, agenda order, and consolidate redevelopment meetings
In Plain English
The city council currently follows rules that set specific meeting times and agenda structure. The proposed changes would adjust when meetings start and end, rearrange the order of agenda items, and combine separate city council and redevelopment agency meetings into single sessions. If approved, residents attending meetings would experience different timing and format.

Why This Vote Matters
The council voted to delay a decision on changing meeting rules until June 16, 2009. The proposed changes would have adjusted meeting start and end times, reordered agenda items, and combined separate city council and redevelopment agency meetings into single sessions. Councilmember Bates opposed the delay, while the other members supported postponing the decision. This is a routine procedural matter that affects when and how residents can participate in city meetings, but no final decision was made on the actual rule changes.
