HomeMy WebLinkAbout12-13-2016 Item 07 Schedule of City Council Meetings for 2017 Meeting Date: 12/13/2016
FROM: Carrie Gallagher, City Clerk
SUBJECT: SCHEDULE OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR 2017
RECOMMENDATION
1. Cancel the Regular City Council meetings of August 1 and December 19, 2017; and
2. Reschedule the Regular City Council meeting of July 4 to July 5, 2017.
DISCUSSION
The City Council’s regular meetings are scheduled for the first and third Tuesday of every month
and in the event that a regular meeting of the council falls on a legal holiday, then the regular
meeting shall be held at the same place and time on the next succeeding working day pursuant to
Section 1.1.2.1 of the Council Meeting Guidelines & Procedures. A copy of the proposed 2017
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 months
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 holidays, the
second meeting in December has been cancelled. Rescheduling of the first meeting in July is
necessary due to the July 4th Legal Holiday.
The draft schedule proposes to cancel the first meeting in August and the second meeting in
December and reschedule the July 4th meeting. Additionally, four Special Meeting dates related
to the 2017-2019 Budget have been added including the Community Forum on January 10, 2017,
the Goal Setting Workshop on January 28, 2017, the Preliminary Budget Workshop on May 15,
2017. Budget deliberations are scheduled for June 1 and 6, 2017 with final budget adoption
occurring on June 20, 2017. A June 27, 2017 meeting has been calendared in the event that
Council needs additional time to conclude budget deliberations.
ALTERNATIVES
Council could choose a different date in August and/or December to cancel or choose not to
cancel either of these meetings.
