CC 2014-11-25 _08.g. Cancellation of December 23rd CC Meeting
MEMORANDUM
TO: CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DEBBIE MALICOAT, ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF CANCELLATION OF DECEMBER 23, 2014
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
DATE: NOVEMBER 25, 2014
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the City Council cancel the regularly scheduled Council meeting
of December 23, 2014 due to the holiday.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
There is no fiscal impact and there will be a minor savings in staff time.
BACKGROUND:
Traditionally, the City Council has cancelled the second regularly scheduled
December meeting due to scheduling conflicts surrounding the holidays.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
- Cancel the December 23rd meeting;
- Do not cancel the December 23rd meeting;
- Reschedule the December 23rd meeting;
- Provide direction to staff.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The City Council meets twice a month on the second and fourth Tuesdays. The
second meeting in December generally falls during the week of Christmas and
historically the Council has cancelled the meeting. This year the second regular
meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, December 23rd.
ADVANTAGES:
Pursuant to the City’s Personnel Regulations and negotiated employee MOU’s, City
offices will be closed on December 24th and 25th. By canceling the December 23rd
meeting, this would allow City employees, as well as the Council, an opportunity to
better enjoy the holidays with their families.
