Council members reviewed the City of Lakeville City Council Rules of Procedure,
established June 1991. The rules have been in place since then and have not
been modified by the council. The City Administrator noted several areas where
current practice is not in conformance with the rules. It was recommended that
the council consider these and provide direction as to whether the rules or the
practices should be changed.
The City Attorney informed the council that, unless there is a specific state
statute which addresses a matter, the mayor has the authority at any time to
deviate from the Rules of Procedure unless council members object.
Council members directed staff to make several changes to the Rules of
Procedure. The City Council will review the changes and adopt the amended
rules at an upcoming meeting.
Mayor Bellows adjourned the meeting at 6:53 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Charlene Friedges, it Clerk
