DISCUSSION Traditionally, the City Council has cancelled one meeting per year around the holidays in order to ease schedules when many employees, Council Members, and contractors tend to take significant time off. This year, Mayor Verlato has requested that the January 7, 2020, be cancelled because it is the City Council meeting that falls closest to, and would be most affected by, the holidays. At this time, only routine matters that are not time sensitive are scheduled for the City Council meeting of January 7, 2020. Therefore, it is proposed that the meeting be cancelled. Should a necessity arise, a special meeting could be conducted to expedite any item which might require immediate City Council action during the dark period. ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA. FISCAL IMPACT There will be very minor savings in printing costs and staff overtime by not conducting this meeting. Cancellation of the January 7, 2020 City Council Meeting December 3, 2019 Page 2 of 2 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council determines that this project is exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve the cancellation of the January 7, 2020, Regular City Council Meeting; and direct the City Clerk’s office to post the required notices.
