Resolution amending the city council rules of procedure relating to the start
time for regular meetings and eliminating the recitation of the Pledge of
Allegiance at the start of every meeting.
Whereas, St. Louis Park City Code Section 2-31 states that the city council shall establish
meeting times and adopt rules of procedure from time to time by resolution; and
Whereas, by Resolution No. 00-108, the city council adopted the rules of procedure and
shall adhere to the rules as stated therein unless revised by a majority vote of the city council;
and
Whereas, the city council desires to amend its rules of procedure as they relate to the
start time for regular meetings and the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.
Now therefore be it resolved that Section II. E. and Section III. E. are hereby amended by
deleting stricken language and adding underlined language:
II. Meetings.
E. Regular meetings.
Regular meetings will be held on the first and third Mondays of each month at
7:30 6:30 p.m. If the meeting date falls on a holiday, the meeting will be scheduled
on the next succeeding day that is not a holiday, unless another day has been
designated in advance. A schedule of all regular meetings and recognized holidays
will be kept on file at city hall. Regular meetings can be cancelled or rescheduled at
any time, provided council meets at least once per month.
III. Agenda and order of business.
E. Call to order.
At the hour appointed for meeting, the members shall be called to order by the
mayor, and in their absence, by the mayor pro tem. The mayor will lead all
present in the Pledge of Allegiance and instruct the secretary to call the roll and
note the absences. The secretary will note in the minutes the time and point in
proceedings when any member absent for roll call arrives, or when any member
leaves prior to adjustment.
