EXHIBIT A
In order to affect an amendment to change the usual meeting
time of the Regular City Council Meetings and the usual meeting
time for the Work Sessions of the City Council of the City of
Lubbock, Subsection A(1) and A(1)(A) of Section III entitled,
"MEETINGS" of the City of Lubbock Council Rules, Order of Business
and Procedures Manual is hereby amended to read as follows:
"A. City Council Meetings:
1. Regular Council Meeting - The City Council shall
meet twice each month in the City Council Chamber,
Municipal Building, at 10:00 a.m., on the second and
fourth Thursdays, and at such other times as may be
officially called as hereinafter provided. City
Council meetings are open to the public in accor-
dance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Vernon's
Ann.Civ.Stat., Art. 6252-17. The Open Meetings Act
requires any deliberation between a quorum of mem-
bers of a governmental body to be conducted at a
meeting open to the public pursuant to a 72 hour
previous posting of the agenda of the meeting.
The only exception is for a gathering at social
functions at which no public business is discussed.
a. Work Sessions - Work session meetings are
scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., twice
each month, immediately before the regular City
Council meeting. Any agenda items which Coun-
cil members may have concerns or questions
about are discussed. Although no Council
action may be taken, work sessions afford Coun-
cil members the opportunity to voice concerns,
obtain information, and question the propriety
of any agenda item. Work sessions are open to
the public."
