DISCUSSIO N
Summer and Winter Council Meeting Schedul e
Since 1994 it has been the practice of the City Council to cancel a regular meeting in the month
of August and/or December . This custom allows the Council and staff members an opportunit y
to plan vacations and reduce meeting absences . Council discussed this matter at the March 16th
Council meeting and directed staff to return with a formal recommendation . At that meeting, i t
was Council's general consensus that the best meeting dates to cancel are the August 3, an d
December 21, 2010, regular meetings .
Election Nigh t
After reviewing the calendar for the November 2010 Election, staff realized that the date of th e
first regular City Council meeting for the month of November 2010 is Tuesday, November 2; as
is the General Municipal Election. Therefore, in accordance with past practice, staff i s
recommending that the first regular meeting of November be rescheduled for November 9 .
ALTERNATIVE
Should November 9, 2010 be a date where Council members have prior commitments, Counci l
could select a different date in November to reschedule its first regular meeting .
