In an effort to provide an additional day for City Council members, staff, and the public to review and respond to questions regarding items on the agenda, I propose that we consider changing City Council meeting days to the first and third Tuesday of each month. Further, I would concurrently suggest that we continue to adhere to all of our existing agenda publication timelines, whereby the City Council meeting agenda would be posted by the Wednesday prior to our City Council meeting days. RECOMMENDED ACTION I recommend that the City Council direct the City Manager to develop and bring back for formal City Council review the protocols and procedures necessary to change our City Council meeting days to the first and third Tuesday of each month. 2071 Mr. Amory Hanson 8102 Ellis Avenue Apartment 121 Huntington Beach CA 92646 The Mayoress of Huntington Beach 2000 Main Street Huntington Beach CA 92648 My Dear Madam Mayoress, I am writing to express my concerns with Item XXII,the proposal to change the Huntington Beach City Council's meetings to Tuesday While I do not object to discussion of this idea, I feel that given that this item affects the ability of the public to attend meetings and observe them, it should be postponed until oratory and observation are allowed in the chamber. I personally plan to continue attending the meetings regularly once it is permitted,regardless of the date. Thank you for considering my thoughts on this matter. I urge the Huntington Beach City Council to consider postponing definitely this item to address these issues. Sincerely Yours, Mr.Amory Hanson CC: The Honorable J. C.
