FROM: CITY MANAGER DEPARTMENT: CITY MANAGER
DATE: AUGUST 3, 2009 CMR: 348:09
REPORT TYPE: CONSENT
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Resolution Amending Resolution No. 8904 to Change the City
Council Vacation Schedule for Calendar Year 2009 to End on September 7, 2009
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the Council's
summer recess to end on September 7, 2009 instead of September 11, 2009.
DISCUSSION
On February 9, 2009, the Council adopted a resolution scheduling the Council summer recess
and winter closure for 2009. The original schedule for the Council summer recess was August 4
-September 11, 2009. Pursuant to Municipal Code Section 2.04.010, during the annual
vacation, there shall be no regular meetings of the Council nor of the Council standing
committees.
Due to scheduling conflicts in September, there is a need to schedule Council standing
committee meetings (Finance and Policy & Services) during the week of September 7, prior to
the current scheduled end of the Council vacation. As such, staff is recommending that the
Council amend the current summer recess schedule so that it ends on September 7. This would
allow the scheduling of the two standing committee meetings during that week.
RESOURCE IMPACT
There is no resource impact associated with the recommendations in this report.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
This report is consistent with prior Council direction.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The actions in this report do not constitute a project under the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) guidelines; therefore, no environmental assessment is required.
