SUBJECT: CANCELLATION OF THE DECEMBER 28, 2021 CITY COUNCIL
MEETING
DATE: OCTOBER 12, 2021
SUMMARY OF ACTION:
Cancellation of the second regular City Council meeting in December due to its
proximity to the Christmas and New Year holidays.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no fiscal impact and there will be a savings in staff time.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council cancel the regularly scheduled Council meeting of
December 28, 2021, due to the holidays.
BACKGROUND:
Traditionally, the City Council has cancelled the second regularly scheduled
December meeting due to scheduling conflicts surrounding the holidays.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The City Council meets twice a month on the second and fourth Tuesdays. This year,
the second regular meeting in December is scheduled on Tuesday, December 28th.
Due to the proximity to the Christmas and New Year holidays, there exists the potential
for scheduling conflicts with City staff, the Council, as well as members of the public
due to vacation plans and scheduled City Hall holiday closures. Cancellation of the
December 28, 2021 City Council meeting will avoid these conflicts.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Cancel the December 28
th meeting;
2.Do not cancel the December 28th meeting and take no further action;
3.Reschedule the December 28th meeting to a different date; or
4. Provide other direction to staff.
