TITLE
Consider a memorandum/resolution rescheduling the City Council meetings for October, November, and December 2019.
SUMMARY
DATE: August 6, 2019
TO: Ronald L. Olson, City Manager
FROM: Judy Paradice, City Manager’s Office
SUBJECT: Reschedule October, November, and December City Council Meetings
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Section 34 of the City Charter provides that the City Council shall meet regularly, but not less frequently than twice a month. Historically, the City Council has scheduled these two meetings for the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month.
The national Association of the United States Army (AUSA) meeting occurs in October each year leaving the City Council with a lack of a quorum for scheduled meetings. This year’s AUSA meeting occurs the third week of October. Since October has five Tuesdays it is recommended that the second workshop and second scheduled regular meeting move back one week.
Due to holidays in the month of November and December it is recommended that the second regular meeting in each month move to the third Tuesday in those months.
THE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
Which alternative is recommended? Why?
The alternative considered for the October meetings would be to move the October 15 and October 22 meetings back one week.
