AGENDA REPORT
e
DATE: September 24,2007
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: ~avid Carmany, City Manager
SUBJECT: COUNCIL MEETINGS - CANCELLATIONS FOR 2008
SUMMARY OF REOUEST:
That City Council cancel the following scheduled (4th Monday) Council meetings for
calendar year 2008: January 28th, February 25th, March 24th, April 28th, May 26th,
June 23rd, July 28th, August 25th, September 22nd, October 27th, November 24th, and
December 22nd.
BACKGROUND:
e
Staff is requesting the City Council meeting dates referenced to in the previous section of
the staff report be cancelled. Cancellation of these meetings will not impact City Council
business, and items needing action can be adjourned to the following meeting.
Cancellation of these meetings in advance helps staff plan for the upcoming year and will
give the public advanced notice of the meeting date changes.
Alternatively, City Council may wish to move to monthly meetings and that those
meetings occur on the second Monday of each month. If Council determined it would be
best to move to one meeting a month it would require amending:
e
1. Seal Beach MuniclDal Code section 3,05.005 (* 3.05.005 - Council Meetings.
The regular meetingti of the city council shall be held on the 2nd ana 4th Monday
of each month at the hour of 7:00 p.m. in the council chambers of city hall.);
2. Resolution 5179 (Section 1. Regular Meetingti. Regular meetingl9 of the City
Council shall be held on the second IU'IS fIJwl"Ih Monday of each month at 7:00
p.m. (Establishea Amended by Ordinance Number~ - City Charter
Section 407.); and
3. RedeveloDment A2encv Bv-Laws Article I Section 1 (SECTION 1. Rellular
Meetinlll9. Regular meetingti shall be held on the jfHNflt Monday ef each month
following the adjournment of the City Council meeting, in the City Council
Chambers, 211 - 8th Street, Seal Beach, California. In the event such jfHNflt
Monday shall fall on a legal holiday, the meeting shall be held on the next
succeeding day follawing the adjournment of the City Council meeting. The
Agency shall conduct at least one meeting per fiscal year. (Res. No. 89-4; Res.
No. 03-4; Res. No. ).
Agenda Item F
e
e
e
The Seal Beach City Charter Section 407 would not have to be amended since that
section only requires one meeting a month.
Should Council wish to effect this change, direct Staff to prepare an ordinance to amend
municipal code section 3.05.005 and a resolution amending Resolution 5179 allowing a
change to one City Council meeting per month and that the City Council meeting be held
each month on the second Monday of the month - prepare a resolution amending the
Redevelopment Agency By-laws to change the wording of when the RDA would meet.
This action would then be formally considered at the next City Council /RDA meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to canceling the meetings, and should the Council consent to
one meeting a month, there would be a slight cost savings.
RECOMMENDATION:
Upon a motion of the City Council the January 28th, February 25th, March 24th, April
28th, May 26th, June 23rd, July 28th, August 25th, September 22nd, October 27th,
November 24th, and December 22nd City Council meetings in 2008 are cancelled.
