Agenda Analysis

Analysis

This proposed rule amendment would amend Rule 46 of the Council Rules of Procedure to prevent the Metropolitan Council and council committees from meeting on the third Tuesday of August or the first meeting of September. The meeting on the third Tuesday of September would be considered the first meeting of the month for purposes of public hearings. 

Consideration of this proposal will be deferred to the May 7, 2026, meeting by Rule 53.2 of the Council Rules of Procedure.
