This is a really important thing.
We want a supermajority to be required to amend the policy, right?
If you do that, my recommendation would be maybe that's something that you really reserve and you say, hey, if we're going to waive this policy that requires a supermajority, you can't just do it at a meeting with the supermajority vote.
You have to agendize that.
for waiver, right?
And things like that are common.
reserve policy, right?
The city must have X percent in reserve.
And oftentimes people say we're going to make that a two-thirds policy because that's an important financial thing.
And so making the city council say, hey, we want to agendize changing the policy before we actually take a vote on it is an important thing to do.
And so I would just proffer that that if something is passed as a majority, you allow that to be changed.
um uh at a council meeting but if something requires a two thirds majority the policy has to be agendized in order for it to be overridden.
That's
Just on the recent item, how we dealt with and I believe there was a clarification that night after the vote is that there was approval for the item or the recommendation that only needed four votes, but then the I piece that needed five votes did not pass.
I think going forward, what we should do until there's a policy clarification.
If we bundle things, it can only be things that need the same amount of votes to pass, right?
And so if there's multiple recommendations and to require a simple majority, those can be bundled, but the the other items that require five have to take a separate vote.
And staff can manage that actively in meetings until we have a policy clarification.
Through the chair, staff is fine with that.
I will simply note that the draft policy that is in that is within uh the agenda report, staff is already following that.
