Meeting Date: 1/5/2016
FROM: Jon Ansolabehere, Interim City Clerk
Prepared By: John Paul Maier, Assistant City Clerk
SUBJECT: SCHEDULE OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR 2016
RECOMMENDATION
Cancel the Regular City Council meetings of August 2 and December 20, 2016.
DISCUSSION
The City Council’s regular meetings are scheduled for the first and third Tuesday of every month
pursuant to Section 1.1.2.1 of the Council Meeting Guidelines & Procedures. A copy of the 2016
meeting schedule is attached as Attachment A.
Summer and Winter Council Meeting Schedule
Since 1994, it has been the practice of the City Council to cancel a regular meeting in the mo nths
of August and/or December. This practice allows the Council an opportunity to plan vacations,
reduce meeting absences, and maximize public participation. Historically the first meeting in
August has been cancelled and when the second meeting in December falls close to Christmas
the second meeting in December has been cancelled. Additionally, it is common during an
election year to schedule the December 1st City Council meeting to seat the newly elected City
Council Members and administer Oath’s of Office. The draft schedule proposes to cancel the
first meeting in August and the second meeting in December.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could choose to cancel a different date in August and/or December to cancel or choose
not to cancel either of these meetings.
