'{~~:~;': 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.
