SUB JEC T:SUB JEC T :Discussion and Approval of Council Rules D A TE :D A T E :April 16, 2024 A t t a chment sAttachments Council Rules Adopted 4 18 2023 Oshkosh Common Council Rules of Order Adopted: April 18, 2023 These Rules are established in accordance with and to supplement the Rules contained in Chapter 2 of the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code. I. Scheduling, Location of Meetings, Agenda, Attendance and Remote Participation A. The Council holds regular meetings on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in the Council Chambers. Special meetings may be called upon request by the Mayor, City Manager or two members of the Council. (See Section 2-10 of the City of Oshkosh Municipal Code). B. Meetings shall be publicly noticed and shall be open to and accessible by the public in compliance with the requirements of the Wisconsin Statutes. Closed sessions shall be noticed in accordance with Wisconsin Statutes. C. When practicable, public meetings will be made available live on GOV TV in the City of Oshkosh, live streamed on oshkoshmedia.org, live on WOCT radio station 101.9 fm, live through Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire Stick. D. Agenda 1. Action Items: Council Members must have agenda items submitted no later than 4:00 PM on the Tuesday one week prior to the Council meeting. Council members should keep in mind that additional time may be needed to work with staff to put items into resolution or ordinance form or if clarifications are necessary; and that items submitted after the deadline may not be included in the agenda that is published on the Friday prior to the Council meeting. 2. Informational Items: Council members shall inform the City Clerk no later than 12:00 noon on the day prior to the Council meeting of any Council Member Statements that they intend to make at the Council Meeting. E. Attendance To be considered an excused absence from a Council Meeting a Council Member must give notice to the Mayor and City Clerk prior to the meeting’s start time. F. Remote Meetings and Appearances The Council recognizes the value of and remains committed to in person meetings and deliberation of matters whenever practicable. However, the City Council recognizes the benefits of providing alternative means for the attendance and participation by its members, the City Manager and staff, and the public at its meetings when necessary due to extraordinary circumstances, when convenient or cost-effective for the City, or as a reasonable accommodation for persons with an ADA disability who are unable to otherwise provide input. Extraordinary circumstances shall mean highly unusual facts or circumstances which prevent in person attendance, due to emergency declarations or due to the desire for participation by persons including consultants or presenters who are unable because of distance, cost, time or other reason to attend in person ; and/or when meetings may be better facilitated by those persons or all persons participating through Remote Means. Remote participation is intended for the benefit of the City of Oshkosh and not for the benefit of any individual council member or other individual. “Remote Means, Remote Participation or Remote Appearance” shall mean participation by a member of a public body or by a member of the public or other individual in a meeting of that public body, where the member is not physically present at a designated meeting location. Remote Participation includes through video, telephone, computer or other means where persons are permitted to view, listen to and participate in the meeting without having a physical presence at a defined physical meeting location. 1) Remote Meetings (Meetings held entirely remotely or with significant remote participation) A majority of the Common Council may direct by consensus or majority vote, or the City Manager in his/her discretion, may provide for Remote Participation in any regular or special meeting of the Common Council. Remote Participation may include members of the Council, staff, consultants or presenters, and/or members of the public. Except as agreed upon by consensus or a majority of the Common Council when scheduling a particular meeting or workshop; or when in the determination of the City Manager, it is reasonable and necessary to limit in person participation for the protection of the public, city officials and city employees (for example, under a Declaration of Emergency); City Council members must be physically present at City Council meetings to par ticipate and vote upon any matter. If a meeting includes Remote Participation by members, a council member may participate remotely and shall retain all participation and voting rights. (This rule shall not be interpreted to circumvent or supersede any statutes, ordinances or rules pertaining to abstentions, recusal or removal of members). If a meeting is conducted solely by Remote Means and there is no physical meeting location or the public is otherwise excluded from being present at a physical meeting location, the public must be afforded an opportunity to live access the meeting and inst ructions shall be provided how to do so. This may include live broadcast or streaming, video or call -in participation, or other adequate means to provide live access to the public meeting. Where public comment or participation is required by law, adequate means must be provided to accommodate such participation. Appearance by Remote Means as required or permitted by these rules shall be consistent with the following: o Remote participation may be permitted in meeting rooms that have adequate audio, video and other technological facilities to allow for remote participation. o Persons participating by Remote Means should be advised via meeting agendas or other means that participation by remote means may be limited by number of participants and available technology, and may be disrupted by problems such as breakdowns of equipment and fluctuation or interruption of electric power or communications networks. The City of Oshkosh does not guarantee that even if persons have been afforded the opportunity to appe ar by Remote Means that telephone, computer, wifi or other connections will be sufficient or that the person will be guaranteed the ability to appear by this method. o In order to accommodate participation for the general public by Remote Means, a meeting link will be provided on the meeting agenda. For meetings where the public may participate by Remote Means, general public comment and public comment on all agenda items shall be taken at the beginning of the meeting, except as necessary to conduct Public Hearings or as may be accommodated at the direction of the Council. Public comment may be closed at the end of any public comment period and persons participating by Remote means shall not interrupt or disrupt the business of the governing body. o Persons wishing to provide public comment on agenda items for Council meetings either in person or by Remote Means must sign up to speak through the City’s website or the Connect Oshkosh App and if participating remotely must participate through the City’s meeting link as published on the meeting agenda. o Persons wishing to provide public comment through Remote Means must join the meeting at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the meeting to allow staff to test the audio/video set up. Attendees must stay muted when not speaking and are responsible for muting and unmuting themselves in a timely fashion when called upon to speak. o Each member of the public speaking must wait to be called upon by the Mayor or Presiding Member or their designee and must provide their name and address prior to speaking. o Every person participating by Remote Means must be audible through clear telephone line or computer connections. If a connection is not clear or causes disruption of the meeting, the connection may be terminated at the discretion of the Mayor or Presiding Member or their designee. If a connection is terminated and this causes the loss of a quorum, the meeting shall be adjourned and rescheduled to another date to permit consideration by a quorum. o All votes shall require a roll call vote – no “all in favor” 2) Remote Appearances (Limited Remote Participation by one or a small number of individuals) The City of Oshkosh may in its sole discretion permit individual persons to appear via remote means at scheduled in person meetings as a reasonable accommodation to an individual for persons with an ADA disability who are unable to otherwise provide input; to facilitate presentations, to receive information or reports from consultants or other persons; or for other business purposes. Permission for appearances under this paragraph may be granted by the Council or the City Manager or his/her designee. Persons who are permitted to appear in this manner shall comply with all requirements for Remote Participation listed in paragraph 1) above. Persons requesting accommodation under this provision must submit such request in advance of the meeting. Requests can best be accommodated if submitted at least 5 business days in advance of the scheduled meeting. Remote appearances shall not be permitted during any quasi-judicial hearing or appeal hearing by persons testifying or by members of the Council adjudicating the matter except under extraordinary circumstances such as a Declaration of Emergency or Emergency Order.
