REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Grant Yates, City Manager
Prepared by: Susan M. Domen, MMC
Date:September 27, 2016
Subject:Cancellation of Certain Regular Meeting Dates for 2016
Recommendation
Approve the proposed cancellation of the Regular meetings of November 8th, 22nd, and
December 27, 2016; call a Special Meeting on November 15, 2016; and, direct staff to arrange
for additional meetings as necessary to conduct the business of the City.
Background
Many governmental agencies “go dark” during certain times of the year and more specifically
during the holidays. Last year, the Council voted to cancel several meeting dates during the last
quarter of the year.
Discussion
Council is being asked to consider going dark again this year at certain designated meeting
dates immediately surrounding the holidays. The proposed dates are the Regular meetings of
November 22, and December 27, 2016.
Additionally, Council is being asked to consider the cancellation of the Regular meeting of
November 8, 2016. This meeting falls on election day and is typically cancelled to allow
candidates and citizens the opportunity to participate in election day festivities. To ensure that
the business of the City is conducted in a timely manner, staff is proposing that the Council call
a Special meeting on November 15, 2016, and direct staff to arrange for other meetings as
necessary throughout the remainder of the year to address Council business.
Fiscal Impact
There is no significant fiscal impact, other than staff time to prepare, associated with this item.
