AGENDA ITEM: Discuss 2018 City Council schedule AGENDA SECTION:
Discussion
PREPARED BY: Logan Martin, City Administrator AGENDA NO. 2.c.
ATTACHMENTS: None. APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discuss the 2018 City Council schedule and provide direction.
BACKGROUND
In an effort to effectively use the time of Council and staff, it is prudent to discuss potential improvements
to the City Council meeting schedule. Specifically, as has been previously mentioned, there appears to be
an opportunity to maximize the evening meetings that are typically needed to conduct City business.
As an example, the window of time from 5pm to 7pm on non-Port Authority evenings is not currently
utilized for Council purposes. Staff would propose holding Council work sessions during this block of
time, with the understanding that additional time might be needed on another evening if this two-hour
window is insufficient. If this change were agreeable without reducing the effectiveness of the Council’s
typical work sessions, it would have a direct benefit to both Council and staff in terms of eliminating one
evening meeting requirement per month.
Please also plan to discuss the broader 2018 schedule at this meeting, including setting interviews for open
Commission seats, and the need to potentially move regular meeting dates due to holidays or other
conflicts.
