By: Michael Bruckner, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF MODIFYING THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING
SCHEDULE DURING SUMMER MONTHS
Recommendation: Provide Direction
SUMMARY
At the September 4, 2018, City Council Meeting, Council Member Beck made a
suggestion that City Council meetings be cancelled during the month of August due to
summer family vacations and other reasons, including the fact that agendas are
typically very light during that timeframe. Council Member Beck requested support from
two other City Council members to add this item to an upcoming agenda; however, only
Council Member Amundson concurred.
At the September 18, 2018, City Council Meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Verlato indicated that
she would consider not having City Council meetings in July, but not August, and
requested support from two other City Council members to add this item to an upcoming
agenda. Council Members Beck and Amundson concurred. Therefore, it is
recommended that the City Council discuss cancelling City Council meetings during the
month of July or some other summer month timeframe and provide direction.
FISCAL IMPACT
There would be minor savings to the General Fund in agenda printing and preparation
costs as well as overtime costs for each meeting cancelled.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council discuss cancelling City Council meetings during the
month of July and provide direction.
