CITY OF PALO ALTO OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK
February 12, 2018
The Honorable City Council
Palo Alto, California
Adoption of a Resolution Scheduling the City Council Summer Break
and Winter Closure for 2018
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the resolution (Attachment A) scheduling the City Council 2018
Summer Break as determined by Council, and Winter Closure from Tuesday,
December 18, 2018 to Friday, January 4, 2019.
BACKGROUND
Under Municipal Code Section 2.04.010(b), the City Council schedules its
annual vacation for each calendar year no later than the third meeting in
February. During said scheduled vacation, there shall be no regular
meetings of the City Council nor of the Council standing committees. The
Mayor or a majority of the Council may call a special meeting during the
scheduled vacation, if necessary (PAMC 2.04.020(b)).
Last year Council’s summer break was from July 1, 2017 through August 13,
2017. Council will approve the annual budget in June usually done during
the second or third meeting, so this negates the beginning of June for
summer break. This year July 4th falls on Wednesday. Please note that Palo
Alto Unified School District’s scheduled last school day before their summer
break is June 1, 2018. They are scheduled to resume classes on August 13,
2018.
Additionally, the Council needs to set the winter closure with staff proposing
December 18, 2018 through January 4, 2019.
Staff respectfully requests Council’s determination regarding the dates to be
set for the Council breaks, and adoption of the attached Resolution.
SUMMER BREAK
Tuesday, June 26, 2018 - Friday, August 10, 2018
WINTER CLOSURE
