The Laguna Niguel City Council mayor can no longer add items to council agendas without at least one other council member tagging on. On Tuesday, city council members unanimously voted to strip the mayor's ability to single handedly put items on the agenda — a power given to mayors throughout many cities in Orange County. The move to take away agenda-setting powers was in response to recent actions from Councilmember Sandy Rains, who abruptly stepped down as mayor late last month after concerns surfaced that she improperly tried to fire the city manager.
