Adding, Copying, and Deleting Agenda Lines

Agenda Lines

There are two types of agenda lines; header lines and legislative files. The type of line is indicated by the Agenda Item and Header / Comment radio buttons next to the File ID field.

• Header Lines- Procedural Items such as invocation and roll call or section titles such as “Communications from Municipal Agencies” or “Bills Introduced.”
• Legislative Files- Database files that are easily recognizable on the agenda form as they display File ID numbers.

There are multiple ways to add new lines to the agenda document.
