agenda is to come in and request it; we could have something on the agenda every
week forever; there are motions to reconsider items Council has taken action on,
and if a motion to reconsider doesn't pass, apparently, the following week, the item
can be put on the agenda; the rules of procedure don't seem to have any m eaning.

reconsider.
