D-3
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: JEFFREY LAWRENCE CORNEJO, JR., CITY CLERK
DATE: APRIL 16, 2018
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING 2018 SUMMER MEETING SCHEDULE
BACKGROUND:
From 2009-2015, it was the tradition of the City Council to not hold Council meetings in August. In 2016,
the City Council modified the summer meeting schedule and decided to cancel the first regular meetings
during the months of July, August and September. This was done in an effort to better manage the City’s
business calendar and to avoid lengthy breaks between meetings. The proposed action requests that the
City Council discuss the 2018 summer meeting schedule and provide direction to Staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council take the following action:
1) Discuss and provide direction to Staff.
ANALYSIS:
It’s common for City Councils to modify summer meeting schedules. They provide Councilmembers and
city staff an opportunity to take a vacation. Staff believes that scheduling one meeting per month during
the summer would be sufficient to attend to the City’s business and should an emergency arise, a special
meeting can be called. Staff is seeking direction on the 2018 summer meeting schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
