Changes to Council Rules on Tonight's RPV Agenda

Rancho Palos Verdes City Council members tonight will consider changes to the group's rules of procedure, in addition to new protocol for commission and committee members. 

A council subcommittee, which includes Mayor Anthony Misetich and Councilwoman Susan Brooks, came up with proposed revisions to the current rules of procedure and developed a code of conduct for council members and members of city commissions and committees. This code of conduct, which would be entirely new to the city, borrows from the protocol used in neighboring Rolling Hills Estates, according to a city report.

One of the subcommittee's recommended revisions to the rules of procedure states that "with the advice of the mayor, or the mayor pro tem when the mayor is absent, the city manager prepares the agenda for city council meetings."

Also included are revisions that would impact city council members when requesting an item be put on the agenda.

The most recent updates to the council's rules of procedure include those on duration of meetings and mayoral discretion regarding audience behavior.

Tonight's meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at in Rancho Palos Verdes.

An adjourned meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the same location.
