_AM �l CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Palm Desert City Council
From: Lauri Aylaian, City Manager
Date: January 2, 2018
Subject: Schedule for 2018 Meetings of the City Council
The City of Palm Desert, in accordance with the Palm Desert Municipal Code Section
2.36.020, holds its regular meetings on the second and fourth Thursday of each month,
or occasionally at other times as are set forth by the Council. In recent years, the dates
and number of meetings in July, August, November and December, and occasionally in
September have been changed to accommodate Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays,
a recess in late summer, and the League of California Cities Annual Conference. The
City Council has always pledged to convene special meetings during these times if
business needs of the City require Council action and, in fact, they have done so on a
number of occasions.
With the desire to give as much advance notice as is possible Palm Desert residents,
businesses, vendors, and staff, I would like to establish the calendar of regular meetings
of the City Council during 2018 at the start of the calendar year. This will allow staff to
publicize the meeting dates on the website, in the Brightside, and through other media
outlets, and to plan contract awards, development approvals, and conference
attendance well in advance. Additional meetings can be noticed and convened in the
event that there is need for Council action during a time when a recess had otherwise
been planned.
The attached schedule that is proposed reflects practice in recent years, including
cancellation of the second meeting in July, the first meeting in August, and the second
meeting in December, as well as holding a single meeting in November on the third
Thursday. It also proposes that the first meeting in September be moved to the first
Thursday, rather than the second, to allow staff and Councilmembers to attend the
League of California Cities Annual Conference.
Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council

Please consider the proposed calendar and direct staff how to proceed: should the
proposed schedule be adopted and noticed, or should all meetings be held on the
second and fourth Thursdays of each month, subject to changes directed by the City
Council over the course of the year?
