Title
Consider a memorandum/resolution rescheduling the City Council meetings for October, November, and December 2022.
Summary
DATE: August 2, 2022
TO: Kent Cagle, 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 second week of October.
The holidays in November and December create possible quorum issues due to travel.
THE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The alternatives are to keep the current meeting schedule or approve the proposed meeting schedule.
Which alternative is recommended? Why?
The recommended alternative considered for the October meeting is to move the October 11 Regular Meeting back one week to October 18 and have the scheduled Workshop Meeting after the Regular Meeting.
