City Council Meeting Minutes November 28, 2017 Page 2 of 16 Attorney Light stated the City Charter generally provides that the City Council may not engage in substantive discussions or take formal action on a subject not listed on the agenda, except it also provides the City Council may do so upon a finding by the Mayor, as the presiding officer, that such discussions or action will promote the general welfare of the City. It is important the matter be acted upon before the next City Council meeting, and it would be injurious to the City to await action until the next City Council meeting. Mayor Muckle stated as discussed, the Council would like to interview additional candidates To do that, and to maintain our schedule, there is a need to select more candidates to invite and give direction so people can make arrangements. There won't be another meeting before the scheduled candidate activities begin on December 4 And so, I find that acting now to increase our candidate pool will promote the general welfare of the City by giving us a broader array of candidates; also, given our schedule I find it is important we discuss and act on this tonight and that it would be injurious to wait because our next meeting is not until after our planned candidate activities start. Mayor Muckle moved to add to the agenda an executive session for the purpose of further discussion of non -finalist application materials and discussion of a personnel matter for informational purposes only for the City Manager recruitment, and that we add a direction and action item after the executive session to designate additional interview candidates Councilmember Loo seconded the motion. Voice vote: all in favor. Mayor Muckle moved to approve the agenda as amended, seconded by Councilmember Loo Voice vote: all in favor.
