PART TWO 2
FOIA requires that Council and committees and subcommittees appointed by Council give advance written notice
of every meeting to every citizen, including news media, who has requested to receive such notice. Council may
require that the requests for notice be renewed annually. In addition, copies of agendas and materials distributed
to Council must be simultaneously made available for public inspection unless a FOIA exemption applies. The City
Clerk and the City Attorney typically handle the notice requirement to media for Council.
Information packets are typically posted electronically on the Thursday before a regular Council meeting
to Council members and are made available to the public and press. Minutes must be kept of all meetings of
Council, including work sessions and informal meetings at which no official action is taken. Vote is by roll call
and the ayes and nays of any question are recorded in the minutes of the meeting. Secret ballots are prohibited.
