REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 7/5/2011 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: CC-11004
Analysis: At the last Strategic Planning Session, moving to one meeting a month, when
appropriate, was a concept the Council indicated they would consider. Council asked to be
notified if an opportunity to reduce expenditures and/or staff time through meeting
cancellation presented itself. Staff believes such a situation will occur at the July 18, 2011
meeting. During their regular review of upcoming agenda items, the Executive Team noted
there were minimal and only non time -sensitive Consent items for consideration at the July
181h meeting. All seven items can be easily moved to the August Vt meeting.
Many cities "go dark" during the summer months due to staffing shortages. By a cancellation
and the resulting extension of time between meetings, staff will have an opportunity to
prepare all staff report for your review.
The financial savings realized with this cancellation will be minimal, but could include staff
time, printing, and utilities.
There will be a second meeting in July, as the Council is scheduled to hold a Special Meeting
on July 29th to participate in the Strategic Planning Workshop.
