Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Lori Hensen, Deputy City Clerk
DATE: 07/15/2014
SUBJECT: Meeting Date Change for Night to Unite and General Election-Res.No. 7465 (F)
Action Sought
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 7465, changing the August 5, 2014
and November 4, 2014 Meeting Dates.
Introduction
The Council is asked to change the dates in which the first regular City Council meetings in
August and November are held.
Background
The Council normally meets the first and third Tuesdays of the month. In August, the first
meeting would fall on August 5th, which is also the annually scheduled "Minnesota Night to
Unite" in which the Council members visit block parties throughout the City.
The first regular meeting in November would normally be Tuesday November 4th. However, that
is also the day of our State General Elections. By State law, public bodies are prohibited from
meeting prior to 8:00 p.m. on that day.
Recommendation
As has been past practice, staff recommends designating the first meeting in each month to be the
following evenings Wednesday August 6, 2014 and November 5, 2014.
