COUNCIL UPDATE REPRESENTATION SCHEDULE It is the cun'ent policy of the City Council that Council Update report on Cable television have one report from the Mayor and one report from a Councilmember each month. The Council representative report each month is scheduled on a "round-robin" basis, where each Councilmember serves as a representative before the next rotation begins. Beginning in January 2003, when the seven-member Council is seated, the rotation schedule will include all members of the City Council including the Mayor. The Mayor will take his or her time in the rotation every seventh Council meeting rather than once a month. This new rotation will allow each member of the City Council to provide the Council update no less than three times in a given year. · tIRA_FS'I VOLII tser;klTl ieling @dOICORRESPOICITYADMl~2OO21CouncilRepinP,tblicForunt.doc I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I
