In 2016, the City Council modified the summer meeting schedule and decided to cancel the first regular meeting 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. Staff is also requesting cancellation of May 20, 2024 City Council Meeting due to a schedule conflict with Councilmembers attending a business Conference. The proposed action requests that the City Council discuss the 2024 summer meeting schedule, provide direction to Staff and cancellation of May 20, 2024 City Council Meeting. 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 2024 summer meeting schedule and the cancellation of the May 20, 2024 regular meeting. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.
