Workshop Meetings. A workshop session is a meeting for the sole purpose of gathering information or discussing public business without taking action.

Open Meetings. The Council shall conduct all meetings in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act. d. Agenda. The City Council agenda will be prepared and assembled jointly by the City Manager and the City Secretary in a format consistent with the Open Meetings Act, subject to modification by Council directive. Items may be placed on the agenda by the Mayor, City Manager, or four members of the City Council who shall confirm their request with the office of the City Secretary. A member wishing to place an item on the agenda shall notify the City Secretary. The City Secretary may place presentations, items of a ceremonial nature, Board, Commission and Committee appointments, and items affecting his office on the agenda. The subject matter of agenda items shall be subject to Council action, unless the item is limited to discussion. e.

No regular session may continue in recess to a time after the convening of the next regular meeting of the Council. g. Order of Business.The order of business shall be that set forth in the agenda unless modified by the Mayor or a majority of Council present and voting. On any item for which the Council permits public comment, time limitations may be set on an equitable basis. h. Recognition of Council Members.Council Members will not interrupt one another, and will speak only when recognized by the presiding officer. The presiding officer will recognize Council Members to speak in the order of their electronic request. i. Seconding Motions.Motions shall require a second, except if the wording of the motion appears on the agenda. j. General Duties of City Secretary.The City Secretary shall act as clerk of the Council, shall accurately keep the minutes and all other records required by law to be kept of Council proceedings, and shall make all publications and notices required by law. k. Record Vote.The ayes and nays shall be taken upon the passage of all ordinances or resolutions and entered in the minutes.

Motion to Table.To "table" shall mean to postpone until a later Council meeting. If the motion to table or postpone specifies a particular time, the matter shall be placed on the Council agenda for that date unless the Mayor or Council subsequently directs differently.

Applicability of Robert's Rules of Order.The most current edition of Robert's Rules of Order shall govern Council proceedings, unless in conflict with these rules or other law. Provided, however, Council's failure to comply with Robert's Rules of Order shall not invalidate any Council action. q. Suspension of Rules.Any of the rules prescribed in this Section 16 may be suspended by a majority vote of all Council Members qualified to vote. r. Disorderly Conduct.For a City Council Member's violation of the Rules of Decorum which it finds to seriously disrupt a meeting, or for a City Council Member's violation which occurs after repeated warnings from the presiding officer, the Council may assess a civil penalty for violation not to exceed $25.00, as authorized by Article II, Section 10 of the City Charter. The City Manager shall cause the amount penalized to be deducted from the Council Member's next paycheck. (Res. No. 21901, § 1, 3-22-1994; Res. No. 031097, § 1, 3-28-2017)
