PURPOSE
PRE-COUNCIL MEETING WORK STUDY SESSIONS
The City Council ofChanhassen will meet 45 minutes to an hour in advance ofall regularly
scheduled council sessions. These sessions will be advertised and open to the public. The
purpose of these sessions will be to allow Council time to raise questions over consent agenda
items as well as regular agenda items. Questions may be informative in nature and could be for
either clarification and/or additional information relating to an agenda item. Council may openly
discuss issues, however, no actions may be taken until the regular meeting convenes. It is hoped
this will promote better communication between the Council as well as the City Manager and
department heads. This will help prepare Council and Staff for the meeting, thus promoting more
efficient utilization of time when people are patiently awaiting their items of concern during the
regular meeting.
Note: If approved by the city council, this wordage will be included in the
Council's Rules of Procedure document.
