TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Judith S. Cox, City Clerk
SUBJECT: First August Council Meeting - Date Change
DATE: June 25, 2008
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is asked to change the date of the first meeting in August from Tuesday,
August 5th to Wednesday, August 6th.
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 "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 6th, so as to afford the Council the opportunity to meet with
neighborhood groups on the 5th. Note that similar action to reschedule the first meeting in
August has taken place the previous six years.
VISIONING RELATIONSHIP
This is a housekeeping item.
RECOMMENDATION
If the Council desires to participate in the National Night Out, it should reschedule the August
5th regular meeting to Wednesday, August 6th.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs, it should, by motion, offer Resolution No. 6787, changing the August 5,
2008 Council meeting date to Wednesday, August 6, 2008, and move its adoption.
