REPORT TO SUCCESSOR AGENCY OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE
TO: HONORABLE CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY
FROM: GRANT YATES, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: SEPTEMBER 10, 2013
SUBJECT: CANCELLATION OF CERTAIN MEETING DATES
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Successor Agency approve the cancellation of the regular
Agency meeting dates of November 26, and December 24, 2013.
Discussion
Many governmental agencies "go dark" throughout the year and more specifically during
the holidays. Last year, the Council voted to cancel several meetings dates during the last
quarter of the year. It is proposed that Agency consider going dark again this year at certain
designated meeting dates immediately surrounding the holidays. The proposed dates are
November 26, and December 24, 2013.
Due to the retrofit of the Cultural Center, it has been arranged for the regularly scheduled
City Council and Successor Agency meetings to be held at the EVMWD Board Chambers
at the cost of $130 per hour. In an effort to reduce the costs associated with the renting of
the off -site meeting location, staff is proposing that Agency approve the cancellation of one
of the regularly scheduled meeting dates during the months of November and December.
November 26 falls on the Tuesday before the Thanksgiving holiday; and, December 24 is
the day before a state mandated holiday in which City Hall is closed. Typically, staff goes
on vacation during the holidays and business slows down therefore it is being suggested
that Agency consider cancelling the proposed meeting dates.
Should an emergency occur a Special meeting can be called with only 24 hours posting
notice to the public in order to address any Agency business.
Fiscal Impact
The cancellation of any Council and Successor Agency meeting dates will reduce the costs
incurred by the City for City Attorney, meeting location costs, and staff time.
