emorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Future Council Meeting Dates
DATE: June 5, 2012
Comment:
Introduction:
The Council is asked to reschedule the dates of the first meetings in July and August.
Background:
This year, Independence Day, July 4 falls on a Wednesday. Rather than have the first
Council meeting of July the night before, it has been suggested moving it to Monday,
July 2 This will keep it most closely aligned with the normal two week spacing, rather
than going to Tuesday, July 10
In August, the first Tuesday of the month has been traditionally been observed "Nite to
Unite ", where Council members visit block parties throughout the City as part of the
neighborhood unification effort. By practice, the City Council meeting has been delayed
until the following evening, which would be Wednesday, August 8
So that these can get into the City calendar, we recommend Council take action on these
at this time.
Recommendation:
I recommend that the first meeting of July be scheduled for Monday, July 2 , and that
the first meeting of August be scheduled to Wednesday, August 8
Relationship to Visioning:
This supports Goal F — "Housekeeping ".
Action Required:
If the Council concurs, it should, approve the following resolution:
Resolution No. 7208
A Resolution Changing the July 3 and August 7, 2012
