Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council vote to cancel the regular meetings scheduled for November 12 and November 26, 2024, due to a lack of a quorum, and adopt the attached resolution amending the 2024 Council regular meeting calendar.
Summary
Charter section 611 requires the Council to hold two regular meetings per month, and that the meeting calendar shall be established by ordinance or resolution.
Discussion
Santa Monica City Charter section 611 states:
The City Council shall hold regular meetings at least twice each month, at such times as it shall fix by ordinance or resolution and may adjourn or readjourn any regular meeting to a date certain, which shall be specified in the order of adjournment and when so adjourned, each adjourned meeting shall be a regular meeting for all purposes.
The resolution amends Resolution No. 11563 (CCS), which authorizes the City Clerk to cancel a regular meeting for an anticipated lack of a quorum, and that additional regular meetings for 2024 may be scheduled by amendment to the resolution. 2 of 2
