INTRODUCTION
The City Council is asked to change the date of the first meeting in August from Tuesday,
August 1 st to Wednesday, August 2nd.
BACKGROUND
The Council normally meets the first and third Tuesdays of the month. In August, the first
meeting would fall on August 1 st, which is also the annually scheduled "National Night Out to
Fight Crime". This is an event that is observed across the United States, and provides
neighborhoods with an opportunity to get together to meet and greet their neighbors. That
leads to better opportunities to fight crime through neighborhood involvement.
The Council should reschedule its first meeting in August to the following evening,
Wednesday, August 2nd, so as to afford the Council the opportunity to meet with
neighborhood groups on the 1 st. Note that similar action to reschedule the first meeting in
August has taken place the previous four years.
VISIONING RELATIONSHIP

1 st regular meeting to Wednesday, August 2nd.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs, it should, by motion, offer Resolution No. 6448, changing the August 1,
2006 Council meeting date to Wednesday, August 2,2006, and move its adoption.
