City Council R 265 260514 Rules Committee

This meeting was a Rules Committee session of the Knoxville Community Media City Council held on May 15, 2026. The committee reviewed and discussed proposed amendments to council rules, including the inclusion of certain zoning ordinances and certificates of alcohol compliance on the consent calendar. The committee considered revised language to streamline the consent process for zoning and pre-zoning ordinances that have been recommended by the planning commission, allowing such items to appear on the consent calendar unless a council member requests removal. They also formalized the longstanding practice of including certificates of alcohol compliance on the consent calendar. Additionally, the committee discussed procedural rules regarding roll call votes and the process for council members to submit requests for rule changes to the committee. Motions were made and passed to adopt the alcohol certificates inclusion and to forward proposed rule amendments to the full council for consideration. The committee also set its next meeting date for July 9, 2026.
