DATE: August 20, 2024
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Dominic Lazzaretto, City Manager
By: Justine Bruno, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: CANCELLATION OF THE SEPTEMBER 3, 2024, REGULAR CITY
COUNCIL MEETING
CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
Due to the lack of agenda items for the City Council Meeting of September 3, 2024, it is
recommended that the Regular Meeting on that date be cancelled.
DISCUSSION
Within the limits of the Arcadia City Charter, the City Council meeting schedule is intended
to meet the workload and scheduling needs of the elected body. Regular Meetings are
held on the first and third Tuesday of each month, with additional meetings scheduled as
needed.
Due to the proximity of the Labor Day holiday, the City Council Meeting following the
holiday weekend typically yields less agenda items and attendance. This year, there are
no agenda items scheduled for the September 3, 2024, City Council Meeting. If there are
no time-sensitive items scheduled for an upcoming meeting, staff may recommend that
the applicable City Council meeting be canceled.
If the City Council cancels the meeting, staff will ensure there are no delays in any time-
sensitive items that would otherwise be addressed at that meeting. Should a necessity
arise, a Special Meeting can be held to expedite any item that may require immediate
City Council action. As a result, it is recommended that the City Council approve the
cancellation of the September 3, 2024, Regular City Council meeting.

Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), as it can been seen with certainty that it will have
no impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT

overtime by not holding this City Council Meeting.
RECOMMENDATION

under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve the cancellation
of the Regular City Council Meeting of September 3, 2024, and direct the City Clerk to
post the required notices.
