[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council of the Borough of Wilkinsburg 11-22-1993 as Ord. No. 2447. Amendments noted where applicable.]
When the Borough Manager determines that any item of business requires
action by the Council, but is of a routine and noncontroversial nature, he/she
may cause such items to be presented at a regular meeting of the Council as
part of a Consent Agenda.
The Consent Agenda shall be introduced by a motion "To Approve the Consent
Agenda" and shall be considered by the Council as a single item.
There shall be no debate or discussion by any member of the Council
regarding any item on the Consent Agenda beyond asking questions for simple
clarification.
All items on the Consent Agenda which require public hearings shall
be open for hearing simultaneously, and the President shall announce, or direct
the Borough Manager to announce, the titles of all such items.
On objection by any member of the Council to inclusion of any item on
the Consent Agenda, that item shall be removed from the Consent Agenda forthwith.
Such objection may be recorded at any time prior to the taking of a vote on
the motion to approve the Consent Agenda. All such items shall be considered
individually, in the order in which they were objected to, immediately following
consideration of the Consent Agenda.
Approval of the motion to approve the Consent Agenda shall be fully
equivalent to approval, adoption or enactment of each motion, resolution,
ordinance or other item of business thereon, exactly as if each had been acted
upon individually.
