6.J. - Page 21 of 22 <br />3. Requests made by individual Council Members for information must be directed to <br />the City Manager, or the City Attorney regarding legal matters, or the City Clerk <br />regarding matters within the City Clerk's authority. Such requests will be addressed <br />as quickly as possible under the circumstances, provided that, in the judgment of <br />the City Manager (or the City Attorney depending on the nature of the request) the <br />request is not of a magnitude, either in terms of workload or policy, which would <br />require that it more appropriately be assigned to staff through the collective <br />direction of the City Council. In general, if more than one hour of staff time will be <br />required to complete the task/project, the item will be agendized to ask the City <br />Council if time should be spent on preparing a report on the proposed item. <br />4.
