Ilr'. 1------- signatur Ammil AGENDA REQUEST FORM ITEM NO. 1 30--• NAME: Larry Thompson DEPARTMENT: Administration DATE: July 30, 1987 MEETING DATE: August 3, 1987 CATEGORY: Add On SUBJECT: Amend By-Laws - Council Voting Procedure EXPLANATION: Amend By-Laws relating to the voting procedure whereby the order of voting would be rotated. REFERENCE MATERIALS/RESPONSIBILITY: Explanation - Larry Thompson REFERRED TO: (NAME) DEPARTMENT: Larry Thompson Administration Department Heads SIGNATU r MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL SUBJECT: COUNCIL BY-LAWS AND VOTING PROCEDURE DATE: JULY 31, 1987 The present Council By-Laws provide that the order of voting is as follows: Councilmember making motion votes first, Councilmember making second votes second; and the remaining in alphabetical order. While this does rotate the order of voting somewhat, it does tend to place the same Councilmember at the end of the vote. I have watched Lakeville's council meeting and they call a roll call vote on each motion, and rotate the vote on each motion. For example, Councilmember Mayer would vote first and Councilmember Kelly would vote last on the first motion, Councilmember Uhl would vote first and Councilmember Mayer would vote last on the next motion and so on. I feel this rotation would prevent an individual with consistently having to cast the deciding vote. It is recommended that this process be tried on a trial basis, and if it is workable, adopt it as part of the by-laws. Larry :mpson City dministrator N LT/mh cc: Department Heads file
