Item No. Add -on
Subject: Discussion Item to consider directing the City Attorney to draft an ordinance that
would require a unanimous vote by the Council to take action on amending, terminating or
renewing a contract or employment agreement with the City Manager when the item to take
Action was not consistent with Sec. 2-60 of the City Ordinances.
Department: City Council
Summary: The citizens of Cape Canaveral have expressed disappointment in the aftermath of
the Council's rushed decision to sign the Separation Agreement at the September 17, 2019
Regular City Council Meeting between the former City Manager, David Greene and the City of
Cape Canaveral. Due to the significant role the City Manager provides in our Council Manager
form of government as expressed in the City Charter Preamble below and shown in the
Organizational Chart.
Preamble
We the people of the City of Cape Canaveral, under the constitution and laws of the State of
Florida, in order to secure the benefits of local self-government and to provide for an honest
and accountable council-manager government, do hereby adopt this Charter and confer upon
the city the following powers, subject to the following restrictions, and prescribed by the
following procedures and governmental structure. By this action, we secure the benefits of
home rule and affirm the values of representative democracy, professional management,
strong political leadership, citizen participation, and regional cooperation.
The process to prepare and publicly notice the agenda is defined in Section 2-60(c) and (d) of
the City Ordinances as seen below.
Sec. 2-60. - Preparation and notice of agenda.
(a) There shall be an official agenda of every meeting of the council which shall determine the
order of business conducted at the meeting.
(b) All items to be placed on the agenda must be initiated by a member of the city council, the
city attorney, city clerk, city manager, or department director.
(c) All items to be placed on the agenda must be filed with the city clerk the Wednesday two
weeks prior to the council meeting. Agenda packets shall be distributed to council members
the Tuesday one week prior to the council meeting.
(d) Public notice of the agenda for all meetings shall be served by posting the agenda in a
conspicuous place at city hall and on the city website the Tuesday one week preceding the
meeting.
I understand that timely action may need to be taken on certain matters by the City Council
which is provided in Section 2-66 of the Ordinances.
Section 2-66. - Consideration of matters before council
(a) The city council shall not take action upon any matter which is not listed upon the
official agenda, unless a majority of the councilmembers present have first consented to
the presentation of the matter for consideration and action.
However, I believe that we need to limit those matters to not include taking action on amending,
terminating or renewing a contract or employment agreement with the City Manager when the
item to take Action was not consistent with Sec. 2-60 of the City Ordinances as defined above.
Due diligence and preparation need to be performed at the highest level when it relates to the
City Manager and the Ordinances defined in Section 2-28 says that " I will devote adequate time
for preparation prior to city council meetings and as much as possible."
