FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 21, 2022
COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
Prepared By: Chief Deputy City Clerk
SUBJECT: CANCELLATION OF THE REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING SCHEDULED ON JULY 5, 2022
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council adopt a Resolution cancelling the regular City Council meeting scheduled on July 5, 2022.
BACKGROUND:
Section 2-1.01 of the Santa Maria Municipal Code sets the time, day, and place for holding City Council meetings to discuss items of City business. The City Council has the authority to cancel meetings due to lack of a quorum or lack of business items.
DISCUSSION:
While many cities go "dark" for a meeting or two during the summer months or holiday season, the Santa Maria City Council has always met on the first and third Tuesday of each month with no pre -determined scheduled breaks.
Due to a lack of agenda items for the meeting scheduled for July 5, 2022, staff recommends that the City Council cancel the originally scheduled first meeting in July and address any items that arise between now and then at the July 19th City Council meeting.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no foreseeable fiscal impact because of this agenda item.
Impact to the Community:
While the public will not have the ability to bring concerns to the City Council on July 5, 2022, due to the cancellation of the meeting, Councilmembers and staff remain available by email or telephone to address residents' concerns during the regular business hours prior to July 5th and thereafter.
