David, I went looking for some authority on the matter of who can place items
on the Council agenda, and finding nothing authoritative (e.g. , in the
Municipal Code) I checked with Diane and she found the 2006 memo. DIANE:
Could you send a copy to David?
And, yes, a Council member could move for a special meeting of the Council to
be held, as long as a majority of Council members voted to do that. I thought
someone might be inclined to do that, which is why I said "next Council
meeting" or "the following Council meeting" instead of saying "August 28
Council meeting" in my memo.

Hi Mark/Vikki,
Thanks for laying out the options.
Could you please forward me the 2006 memo regarding the agenda-making
process you mentioned? No one has ever been able to explain to me the
authority for controlling the agenda and this sounds like the closest match.
Is there anything stopping 4 council members from calling a special meeting
with agenda being the repassage of the exception ordinance? Or with the
agenda being to consider putting the repassage of the exception ordinance
on a future agenda?
Thanks,
David
