CITY OF SAN LUIS O B PO

Lee Price, City Clerk
SUBJECT: CANCELLATION OF THE AUGUST 5,2003 REGULAR CITY
COUNCIL MEETING
I
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Cancel the Regular City Council Meeting of Tuesday, August 5, 2003.
DISCUSSION
Since 1994 it has been the practice of the City Council to cancel the first regular meeting in the
month of August. This custom allows the Council and staff members to plan summer vacations.
Staff recommends that the Council let tradition stand and cancel the August 5, 2003 meeting and;
to the extent possible, schedule vacations during this "dark" period.
ALTERNATIVE
In recent years, vacations have often been scheduled before and after the cancelled meeting,
resulting in several weeks of less than a full Council. If canceling the first meeting in August
does not assist in reducing summer meeting absences, then Council may wish to discontinue the
tradition, since meeting cancellations can result in very heavy agendas both before and after the
cancelled meeting. Not canceling any meetings would "smooth out" the workload some, which
would be advantageous if a cancelled meeting is not helpful in vacation planning.
