HomeMy WebLinkAbout08-15-2017 Item 17 - Schedule of City Council Meetings for 2018 Meeting Date: 8/15/2017
FROM: Carrie Gallagher, City Clerk
SUBJECT: SCHEDULE OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR 2018
RECOMMENDATION
Establish a regular meeting schedule for the 2018 calendar year; and
1. Reschedule the regular City Council meeting of January 2 to January 9, 2018; and
2. Reschedule the regular City Council meeting of July 3, to July 10, 2018; and
3. Reschedule the regular City Council meeting of November 6 to November 13, 2018
4. Cancel the regular City Council meetings of August 7 and December 18, 2018.
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 Policy & Procedures. A copy of the proposed 2018 meeting
schedule is attached as (Attachment A).
The draft schedule proposes to reschedule the first meeting in January, the first meeting in July
and the first meeting in November and cancel the first meeting in August and the second meeting
in December.
Holiday Conflicts
Due to when holidays fall on the calendar for 2018, staff is recommending that the January 2 and
July 3 regular City Council meetings and recommends rescheduling both to the following
Tuesdays.
Election Day
After reviewing the calendar for the November Election, staff recognized that the date of the first
regular City Council meeting of November 2018 is Tuesday November 6; as is the General
Municipal Election. Therefore, in accordance with past practice, staff is recommending that the
first regular meeting of November be rescheduled to Tuesday, November 13.
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.
