CITY OF PALM DESERT
CITY CLERK DEPARTMENT
MEETING DATE: December 13, 2018
PREPARED BY: Rachelle D. Klassen, City Clerk
REQUEST: Adoption of Resolution No. 2018 - 92 , establishing dates for
regular meetings of the Palm Desert City Council during calendar
year 2019.
Recommendation
Waive further reading and adopt Resolution No. 2018 - 92 , establishing
dates for regular meetings of the Palm Desert City Council during calendar
year 2019.
Strategic Plan
This request represents routine administrative business of the City; there is no specific
Strategic Plan objective to associate with it.
Background Analysis
In 2018 City Council requested that an annual schedule of its regular meetings be set in
advance by resolution, as provided for in Palm Desert Municipal Code (P.D.M.C.)
Section 2.36.020 (copy attached) so that Members could calendar them and then plan
for other important events and activities throughout the year. The attached resolution
provides a schedule of second and fourth Thursday dates generally, allowing City
Council, the public, and staff to plan accordingly for the conduct of City business and
any required noticing.
This schedule takes into account the routine practice of cancelling the second meeting
in July and the first meeting in August for a summer recess, along with the tradition of
holding one meeting in November and December, with holiday observances occurring
on or around the fourth Thursday of each of those months. Further, the proposed
schedule does not conflict with events that are customary for City Councilmembers to
attend -- League of California Cities Executive Forum and Advanced Leadership
Academy (June 19-21, Newport Beach) and the Annual Conference (October 16-18,
Long Beach).

Fiscal Analysis
