DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Charter Section 409, the City Council has adopted a resolution setting the time, place, and manner of holding its meetings. Resolution No. 2023-047, Section 2(a), states “Regular meetings of the City Council shall be on the first and third Tuesdays of each month beginning on January 1, 2014.” Past practice by the City Council has been to cancel the first meeting of the year, a meeting during the summer months, and a meeting that falls on Election Day. Staff recommends that the same past practices be adopted for 2024:
1. Cancel the first meeting of the year scheduled for January 2, 2024.
2. Cancel the meeting scheduled for August 6, 2024 for the summer months.
3. Cancel the meeting scheduled for November 5, 2024 (Election Day).
The proposed 2024 calendar (Exhibit 1) includes the three above recommendations and sets a Special Meeting for December 10, 2024 for the certification of election results and swearing-in ceremony pursuant to Charter Section 400.
If the City Council cancels any regularly scheduled meeting, consideration of agenda
