During these meetings, items needing in-depth discussions are introduced and reviewed. It is not typical to take a formal action during a study session or workshop. The purpose of study session or workshop discussions is to allow Council members to be made aware of impending business and allow informal discussion of issues that might be acted upon at a future meeting.

These meetings are open to the public, but no public comment is taken during the discussion of a specific agenda item, unless there is a posted public hearing. Study sessions and workshops do not need a detailed agenda.

The City Manager shall arrange the Council study session or workshop topics for discussion. After the Mayor has approved the topics, an email meeting invite shall be prepared for the Council and affected City staff in advance of the meeting. (Ord. 2972, 5/25/21)
