SUBJECT: SCHEDULE OF CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR 2020
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the proposed 2020 Regular City Council meeting schedule with meetings normally held
the first and third Tuesday of every month, with the following exceptions:
1.Reschedule the Regular City Council meeting of January 7 to January 14, 2020,
2.Reschedule the Regular City Council Meeting of November 3 to November 10, 2020,
3.Cancel the Regular City Council meetings of August 4 and December 15, 2020.
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 Policies & Procedures. The proposed 2020 meeting
schedule is provided for Council consideration (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 the holidays,
the second meeting in December has been cancelled.
Election Day
After reviewing the calendar for the November 2020 Election, staff recognized that the date of
the first regular City Council meeting of November 2020 is Tuesday, November 3; as is the
General Municipal Election, Therefore, in accordance with past practice, staff is recommending
that the first regular meeting in November be rescheduled to Tuesday, November 10, 2020.
Policy Context
The recommended action follows Section 1.1.2.1 of the Council Policies & Procedures with the
City Council’s regular meetings scheduled generally for the first and third Tuesday of every
month and previously established practice for cancelling and rescheduling of meetings.
