CITY CLERK DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: CONSIDERATION OF CHANGING DATE OF FIRST REGULAR CITY COUNCIL
MEETING IN NOVEMBER DUE TO HAVING ONLY ONE MEETING THAT
MONTH, WITH OBSERVANCE OF THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY ON THE
SECOND REGULAR MEETING DATE.
SUBMITTED BY: Rachelle Klassen, City Clerk
DATE: September 13, 2012
CONTENTS: • Staff Report
• November 2012 Calendar
• Preliminary Minutes of August 23, 2012, City Council Meeting
Recommendation
By Minute Motion, change date of the first regular City Council Meeting in November 2012
that would be held Thursday, November 8, at 3:00 p.m., and adjourn it to Thursday,
November 15, at 3:00 p.m. for Closed Session, 4:00 p.m. for Regular Session and Public
Hearings.
Background
At the August 23, 2012, regular City Council Meeting, Councilmember Harnik suggested changing the
date of the first meeting in November to conduct it mid -month, due to standard cancellation of the second
meeting that month, which falls on the Thanksgiving Holiday. This would mitigate the greater amount
of time between meetings in November and December 2012.
In order to make such a change, City Council must take the action and direct staff to plan accordingly
therefor. Staff will await the City Council's deliberation and subsequent direction on this request.
Fiscal Analysis
As is known at this time, there is no fiscal impact relative to postponing for one week the first regular City
Council Meeting in the month of November 2012.
