No. 7110 Sea F. 3, 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.
