Cost Center: 1021
For Agenda of: October 6, 2020
Placement: Consent
Estimated Time: N/A
FROM: Greg Hermann, Deputy City Manager
Prepared by: Teresa Purrington, City Clerk
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO AMEND THE 2020 CITY COUNCIL MEETING
CALENDAR
RECOMMENDATION
Amend the 2020 City Council Meeting Calendar to cancel the rescheduled Regular City Council
Meeting of Tuesday, November 10, 2020 and add a rescheduled Regular Meeting on Tuesday,
December 8, 2020.
DISCUSSION
The City Council’s 2020 meeting schedule was adopted on November 12, 2019. Past practice
during election years is to reschedule the meeting scheduled for the first Tuesday in November
(November 3, 2020) to the second Tuesday in November (November 10, 2020) to minimize the
potential for conflicts with the General Municipal Election and to consolidate the first and
second meetings in August and December into one meeting for each of those months. There are
currently no items scheduled for the November 10, 2020 meeting and staff is recommending that
the meeting to be cancelled.
In addition, staff is proposing to reschedule the previously cancelled December 15, 2020 meeting
to December 8, 2020. This will allow the December 1, 2020 City Council meeting to be larg ely
ceremonial for the purposes of certifying election results and installing the new Mayor and
Council. The December 8, 2020 will be the first working meeting for the elected City Council
allowing more time for the public hearing and business items. A copy of the approved 2020
meeting schedule is attached. (Attachment A)
Policy Context

month as the regular meetings for the City Council. Section 1.1.2.4 allows for a majority of the
Council to cancel and reschedule a meeting if needed.
