•
DATE: March 10, 2003
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
SUBJECT: CANCELLATION OF CERTAIN CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DATES IN 2003
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The recommended action is for City Council to consider and approve the cancellation of
its meetings of June 23, November 24 and December 22, 2003.
DISCUSSION
In previous years, the City Council has approved the cancellation of the City Council
meetings originally scheduled on the 4th Mondays of November and December due to the
proximity to the Thanksgiving and Christmas/New Year holidays. In addition, to considering
cancellation of these dates for 2003, staff also requests that City Council consider cancellation of
the City Council meeting scheduled for the 4 Monday in June, 2003. With the hiring freeze, the
workload demands remain at a high level, including but not limited to additional State mandates
and regulations, fiscal crisis, infrastructure and facility repairs and improvements. The
cancellation of one meeting in June will provide some respite to staff by reducing the reports and
agenda preparation needs during this period. This would allow for additional time for staff to
focus on year -end fiscal needs, and addressing project details that need to be completed by June.
Considering and approving these cancellation dates earlier in the year, City Council, City
staff and the community can then plan accordingly for the remaining calendared dates.
FISCAL IMPACT
There would be no additional fiscal expense to cancel three City Council meetings, but would
provide a slight reduction in service and staff expenses for operation, preparation, and attendance
of these meetings.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve cancellation of the City Council meetings of
June 23, November 24 and December 22, 2003.
