Sac City Council adopts Robert's Rules of Order for conducting City Council Meetings
Though they violate them at every single meeting,* the Sac City Council has chosen to adopt Robert's Rules of Order to conduct Sac City Council Meetings.
ISU Extension guidelines for parliamentary procedure
*the most frequent violation is the one of city council members not actually making any motions instead substituting the phrase, "So moved" allowing the wording or intent of any motion made to be changed for the sake of convenience at a later time. Also, Mayor Powell never re-states the wording of the motion, as required... probably because of the aforementioned problem with the Sac City Council not actually making any motions.

Mayor Powell pretends conversation did not happen
In this video, VIDEO - Mayor Powell plays Gotcha with Curtis Bloes and this story, Mayor Powell ends year with a little dishonesty I documented a conversation that took place at the December 28, 2009 Sac City Council Meeting regarding the March 24, 2008 removal of the public forum from the Sac City Council meetings.
Apparently, Mayor Barb Powell's solution to the question of how to deal with the legal question of the improper method in which she conducted the conversation is to cover it up. (see minutes of that meeting below)
Nice.
The Sac City Council will vote to approve these minutes and enter them officially into the public record on January 11, 2009 at 6:30PM.
