DISCUSSIO N Summer and Winter Schedul e Since 1994 it has been the practice of the City Council to cancel a regular meeting(s) in the mont h of August and/or December. This custom allows the Council and staff members an opportunity t o plan vacations and reduce meeting absences . This year, because the Council has instituted a schedule that includes three council meetings a month, it is recommended that the first tw o meetings in August be cancelled . This recommendation does not precisely match the past schedul e because typically in the past the first meeting in August was cancelled . In this case because it is a n election year the last day to take action to place a matter on the ballot is later in the first week i n August. As such, staff is recommending that the first meeting in August be left of the calendar bu t that decision is within the discretion of the City Council . Staff's recommendation about cancelling one meeting in December mirrors past practice in that typically the meeting on the third Tuesda y has been cancelled . Election Nigh t After reviewing the calendar for the November Election, staff recognized that the date of the firs t regular City Council meeting for the month of November 2012 is Tuesday, November 6 ; however , the General Municipal Election falls on that date as well . Therefore, in accordance with pas t practice, staff is recommending that the first regular meeting of November be cancelled . The regular Council meetings of November 13 and 20 will still be held . ALTERNATIV E Council could choose different meeting dates to cancel or could choose not to cancel any meetings .
