Councilmember Urban raised a point of order suggesting posting requirements may not have been met for this Special Study Session. Discussion followed. Mr. Dahl advised. It was determined the meeting notice was posted on the website, but not in the City Hall Lobby. As such, it is an improperly called meeting. Mayor Jay entertained suspension of the rules. Councilmember Urban offered that suspension of the rules couldn't apply since the meeting wasn't properly noticed and therefore does not exist. Mr. Dahl advised that the Council Rules do not address this particular scenario, but do allow for suspension of the rules at a study session. Further discussion followed. Councilmember Fitzgerald asked for consensus to temporarily suspend the Council rules with respect to posting for the notice of this study session. The consensus failed 4-2.
