Unless this requirement is waived by affirmative vote of all members of the city council present at a meeting, all items to be presented to the city council for debate or action at their regular meetings shall first be placed upon an agenda pursuant to the procedure outlined in the city's preparation of agenda policy on file with the city clerk.

(b)

The city clerk is authorized and directed to prepare an agenda for each regular and called meeting. Elected and appointed officials and department heads -who wish to have issues addressed at a city council meeting shall so inform the city clerk by using the procedure set forth in the city's preparation of agenda policy on file with the city clerk. All required forms and deadlines for submission set forth in this policy shall be strictly adhered to.

(c)

The city clerk is authorized to screen requests to be placed on the agenda so as to reroute items which may be more appropriately addressed at the administration level or which are more appropriately addressed to other deliberating bodies.
