D-1
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER
FROM: JEFFREY LAWRENCE CORNEJO, JR., CITY CLERK
DATE: APRIL 15, 2019
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING 2019 SUMMER MEETING SCHEDULE AND
CANCELLATION OF MAY 20, 2019 REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING
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. It is also requested May 20, 2019 City
Council meeting be canceled due to International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) Conference in Las
Vegas May 19-22, 2019. The proposed action requests that the City Council discuss the 2019 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; and
2) Approve the cancellation of the scheduled May 20, 2019 Regular City Council Meeting.
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 2019 summer meeting schedule.
The International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) Conference in Las Vegas is May 19-22, 2019, 4 of
5 Council Members will be attending ICSC. Staff is requesting May 20, 2019 Regular City Council
meeting be canceled.
