COUNCILMAN ENGSTROM SECONDED THE MOTION. THE MOTION PASSED 4-0. 17. City Council Meeting Procedures Mayor Hinkle indicated that he suggested two changes in City Council procedures during city council meetings; 1. an automatic meeting cut-off time of 12 o'clock midnight and, 2. all city council votes on agenda items be recorded on the basis of a roll call by the council's recording secretary. Mayor Hinkle further indicated that the 12 o'clock midnight time is suggested as the Council's and staff's effective- ness is greatly reduced beyond that time. Mayor Hinkle also indicated that by re- cording the City Council's yotesby roll call, it helps the recording secretary in the taking of the minutes as the voice votes are difficult to record and often the secretary must ask individual councilmembers what was their vote. Councilman Toth indicated that he did not think the suggested change in council procedures is necessary, as meetings generally do not last that late. Councilman Duitsman indicated that he did not feel the suggested procedures were necessary as the recording of council votes would take much more time. Mayor Hinkle indicated that the recording of roll call votes would help people in the audience understand how each individual councilperson felt about an issue and suggested that the Council give the procedure a try.
