Call to Action & Meeting Procedures
What is a call to action?
Community members, committees, and guests may ask the council board to take action on any issue of importance to them.
Ways to ask for action:
Request that an item be placed on the TCCI monthly meeting agenda by filling out the Agenda Item Memorandum form (form below)
Request to be a person to be heard by signing in before the meeting
Request that a committee address an item by filling out the Agenda Item Memorandum form and turning it into the appropriate committee. If submitting online form (below) be sure to include name of the committee at bottom of form.
Possible outcomes are as follows
Board vote on proposed action
Referral to a committee
Deferral to the next month’s meeting
Call for a community-wide vote on a major issue if the board is not comfortable making a decision.
No action
Add an agenda item by completing the form below:
THE AGENDA MEMORANDUM FORM MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5PM ON THE THURSDAY BEFORE THE TCCI MONTHLY MEETING
The form above is also available as a pdf document HERE:
Agenda Memorandum Form
THE AGENDA MEMORANDUM FORM MUST BE RECEIVED BY 5PM ON THE THURSDAY BEFORE THE TCCI MONTHLY MEETING
If the deadline is missed, this form needs to be brought on paper to the regular monthly meeting and must be sponsored by a board member. Sponsorship can be arranged by contacting members directly. The sponsor can then make a motion to add the item to the agenda, which will be voted upon at the beginning of the meeting. A majority Board vote will result in the item being added to the agenda. Adding an item to the agenda after the agenda is adopted requires a motion by a board member and will be added after a 2/3 majority vote.

PERSONS TO BE HEARD
Anyone can address the board and assembled community members with any concern he/she may have.
Members and guests can request in advance to be on the agenda as a person to be heard, or sign in at the beginning of the meeting.
Time limit of about 3 minutes. Questions will be allowed, but no discussion. If immediate action is desired, any board member can ask for a vote of the board to add the item to the current agenda.
Guests and members who need more time can request in advance a longer time period for a presentation. Unless they are time-sensitive, such presentations will be limited to one per meeting.
