Co Com R 267 260420 Rules Committee

The Knoxville Community Media Rules Committee convened on April 20, 2026, primarily to discuss amendments to the commission's rules regarding presentations on legislative agendas. The committee considered a proposal to clarify that presentations are to be given only by county staff or invited presenters, excluding commissioners, to align with Robert's Rules of Order and maintain procedural consistency. Commissioners discussed the implications of this change, including how commissioners may still participate through resolutions, debates, or other business items. The committee voted to approve the amendment, which will be presented to the full commission in the following month's meeting. Additionally, the committee briefly addressed the mayor's veto power over commission resolutions, clarifying the process for veto overrides requiring a two-thirds commission vote. No procurement, contracting, or budget matters were discussed during this meeting.
