Mayor Welsch called the Study Session to order at 5:30 p.m. In addition to the <br />Mayor Shelley Welsch, the following members of the Council were present: <br /> <br />Mr. Stephen Kraft arrived at 5:45 p.m. <br />Mr. Terry Crow <br />Mr. Michael Glickert arrived at 6:03 p.m. <br />Mr. Arthur Sharpe <br />Mr. Byron Price <br /> <br />Ms. Ricci was unexcused. <br />Also in attendance was City Manager Lehman Walker. <br /> <br />Mayor Welsch opened the study session which was scheduled to review changes <br />suggested by Council at their last Study Session on Council’s Rules of Order and <br />Procedures which Council directed Mayor Welsch and Councilmember Glickert to do. <br /> <br />The first Rule discussed was Rule 7. “No member of the Council may leave the room <br />while in formal session of the Council, as defined by Robert’s Rules, without <br />permission from the presiding officer.” Mr. Price asked that “asking for” be inserted after <br />without. It was agreed unanimously to read “No member of the Council may leave the room <br />while in formal session of the Council, as defined by Robert’s Rules, without asking for <br />permission from the presiding officer.” Mr. Crow asked if it needed to be a formal ask and <br />Mayor Welsch said it did not, it just needed to be some kind of an informal notification to the <br />chair before leaving the room. <br /> <br />Rule 12 added at the end “and to discuss other issues/items which members want to <br />formally present to other members of Council.” Council unanimously agreed to the <br />addition and now will read, “The Council Reports and Business section of the agenda is <br />designed for members to present Board and Commission liaison reports and to discuss <br />other issues/items which members want to formally present to other members of Council.” <br /> <br />Council skipped to Rule 39. Suggested addition was “Three absences from regularly <br />scheduled meetings of University City Board and Commissions will be cause for <br />dismissal of a member from a Board or Commission.” <br />(Under the by-laws of the Library Board of the City of University City, the Board may request <br />a resignation from the Library Board after three or more absences from Library Board <br />meetings) <br /> <br />Mr. Kraft said rules concerning Boards and Commissions should not be a part of Council <br />Rules of Order and Procedures. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />
