§ 2-40. Consent calendar.

There shall be a consent calendar on which shall be entered such ordinances, resolutions, communications, reports or other matters as the majority leader and the minority leader, if any, or their designees, shall agree upon, and which shall be proposed to the City Council by the majority leader or his designee in the form of a motion to move to the consent calendar. In the event that there is no minority leader, the City Council President shall act in place of the minority leader for purposes of this section. At the request of a member any such item shall be removed from those included in the motion. All items on the consent calendar shall be passed on motion without discussion unless, at any time prior to the motion for passage, a member requests the removal of such item from the consent calendar, in which case such matter shall be so removed and returned to the regular agenda. No item offered by any individual member of the City Council shall be placed on the consent calendar unless it has been delivered to the Legislative Assistant who shall refer a copy thereof to the majority leader, the minority leader or their designees, for possible inclusion on the consent calendar.
