If a member of the Council intends to make a motion at a meeting which is not reflected in the <br />agenda item summary, every effort should be madeto contact other members of the Council to <br />inform them of the intent and the text of the motion. City Council support staff should be <br />provided with the same information and may be asked to assist in the notification process. <br />Comment times for the Mayor and councilors at CityCouncil meetings or work sessions shall be <br />generally limited to no more than three minutes. At the discretion of the Mayor or presiding <br />officer, second and subsequent rounds may be limited further to ensure that everyone has an <br />opportunity to be heard in the time allotted for the item. <br />7.03 Public Conduct <br />The rules of conduct for members of the public shall generally be the same as for the Council. <br />The Code prohibits any person from bringing flags, signs, posters, and placards to a City Council <br />meeting unless authorized by the presiding officer. The Eugene Code specifically permits arm <br />bands, emblems, badges, and other articles worn on personal clothing, so long as such items do <br />not extend from the body in such a way as to cause injury to another. <br />COUNCILOR REQUEST FOR STAFF ASSISTANCE <br />8. <br />8.01 Two-Hour Rule <br />Initiatives requiring more than two hours of staff time must be approved by the Council. <br />Requests that involve less than two hours staff time or resources should be directed to the City <br />Manager. <br />8.02 Major Request <br />A Councilor who desires major policy, ordinance research, or other staff assistance should first <br />City <br />raise the issue at a Council work session. The Council should decide whether to proceed <br />with the issue or ordinance before staff time is spent. <br />8.03 Tracking Council Requests <br />Except for routine inquiries, the City Manager shall respond to councilors’ requests for <br />information or assistance. The Manager shall assign these requests to appropriate City staff and <br />track progress on the assignments. This process eliminates the possibilities of staff members <br />duplicating each other's efforts or a request being overlooked. <br />9. REPRESENTING CITY POSITIONS AND PERSONAL POSITIONS <br />9.01 Written Communications from City Councilors and Mayor <br />In written communication with other officials or groups and in letters for publication, such as “to <br />the editor,” the Mayor and councilors should be careful to decide whether to speak only for <br />themselves or for the Council. In speaking for the Council, when there is a position which the <br />writer wishes to reinforce or explain, it is useful to circulate a copy to the Council for comment <br />before the letter is mailed. Letters to other elected officials or agencies on City issues shall be <br />discussed with the appropriate staff so that the City lobby effort can be coordinated. <br />When writing as an individual, a councilor or the Mayor is free to take any position which he or <br />she feels is appropriate. When it is a point of view different from a Council position, this fact <br />Eugene City Council Operating Agreements – October 2011 <br />Page 7 of 19 <br /> <br />
