Cotati City Council
Agenda Staff Report
Item type: CONSENT CALENDAR
To: City Council
Subject: Annual Cancellation of City Council meetings
Date: June 14, 2022
Written by: Damien O'Bid, City Manager
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a motion to cancel the regular City Council meetings of July 12 and December 27, 2022.
Background
Historically, due to the high volume of budget meetings in May and June and busy summer schedules, the City Council has canceled one meeting in July or August, after the beginning of the new fiscal year.
The last scheduled meeting of the year is close to Christmas, when many people are on vacation and out of town, so this meeting has also traditionally been canceled.
Analysis/Discussion
The City Council generally meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month. Although not required by state open meeting laws, it has been the usual practice for the Council to take action when its meeting schedule is modified in order to provide ample notice to the public of the changed or canceled meeting date.
In accordance City Council Rules of Conduct, section I.A.3, “Any meeting of the Council may be canceled in advance by a majority vote of the Council.” Financial Considerations
Not applicable.
Environmental Issues
The action of cancelling a City Council meeting date does not constitute a project as defined by California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378; therefore, no further environmental review is required.
