The Knoxville Community Media City Council Rules Committee convened on September 25, 2026, to discuss procedural rules and policies affecting council operations. Key procurement-related discussions included the consideration of a rule to set a secondary filing deadline specifically for charter amendments to ensure adequate review time before council meetings. The committee also debated procedures governing the use of visual aids during Rule 10 appeals, ultimately deciding against allowing appellants or the public to present visual aids, limiting such presentations to council members only, with a recommendation to establish submission deadlines to facilitate preparation. Additionally, the committee reviewed proposals to amend its procedural rules, including the process for handling proposed rule changes and their referral to the full council for approval or denial, emphasizing the committee's role as a recommending body. The meeting concluded with scheduling discussions for 2027 committee meeting dates, favoring quarterly meetings on Wednesdays at 4:30 PM. Motions to postpone certain agenda items were passed, and no direct contract awards or vendor selections were made during this session.
