Municipal Code Deal. ..! with Meetings-Time and Place
SUBMITTED BY: City Attorney{
(4/5ths Vote: Yes No X)
This amendment would place the Council policy of cancelling meetings during
the week of Christmas, New Year's, the last week of June, the first week of
July into the City Code.
RECOMMENDATION: Place the Ordinance on First Reading
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: N/A SECOND F L/ L)1NG AND ADQpTiQ
DISCUSSION:
At its January 13, 1987 meeting, the City Council (Cox) requested that staff
return with an ordinance which cancels the City Council meeting scheduled for
the last week in June and the first week in July. Council had previously
adopted a policy by resolution on July 16, 1985 which cancelled the first
neeting in July and the meetings during the week of Christmas and New Year's.
The rationale for cancelling meetings at the end of June and the first week of
July is that there are an extraordinary number of meetings during June to deal
with the budget. Cancellation of these two meetings grants necessary respite
from the heavy meeting schedule and also gives staff an opportunity to catch
up on some of the work which has accumulated during this hectic period. The
meetings normally conducted during the week of Christmas and New Year's are
generally considered to be inconvenient for the public due to all the other
activities that traditionally occur during that period.
The proposed ordinance would expand the existing policy by adding the
cancellation of the meeting during the last week in June and would put the
policy into the City Code which would serve to give better notice to the
public that these meetings will normally be cancelled. The amendment also
allows the Council to reinstitute these meetings if there is considered to be
some necessity to do so by a majority vote.
