CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum C NSE,
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Judith S. Cox, City Clerk
SUBJECT: First August Council Meeting — Date Change
DATE: June 29, 2011
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is asked to change the date of the first meeting in August from Tuesday, August
2nd to Wednesday, August 3rd.
BACKGROUND
The Council normally meets the first and third Tuesdays of the month. In August, the first
meeting would fall on August 2nd, which is also the annually scheduled "Minnesota Night to
Unite ". 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 3rd, so as to afford the Council the opportunity to meet with neighborhood groups on
the 2nd. Note that similar action to reschedule the first meeting in August has taken place the
previous nine years.
VISIONING RELATIONSHIP
This is a housekeeping item.
RECOMMENDATION
If the Council desires to participate in the Minnesota Night to Unite, it should reschedule the
August 2nd regular meeting to Wednesday, August 3rd.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs, it should, by motion, offer Resolution No. 7110, A Resolution Changing the
August 2, 2011 Council Meeting Date, and move its adoption.
