Review calendar of regularly scheduled City Council meetings in 2025. <br />2. Cancel the regularly scheduled City Council meetings of January 7, 2025 and <br />August 5, 2025. <br />3. Direct staff to post Notice(s) of Cancellation and waive notice to the City Council of <br />said meetings as required by the Government Code. <br />GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No <br />DISCUSSION <br />Pursuant to Charter Section 409, the City Council has adopted a resolution setting the <br />time, place, and manner of holding its meetings. Resolution No. 2023-047, Section 2(a), <br />states “Regular meetings of the City Council shall be on the first and third Tuesdays of <br />each month beginning on January 1, 2014.” Past practice by the City Council has been <br />to cancel the first meeting of the year, a meeting during the summer months, and other <br />meetings as requested by the City Council. Staff recommends that the same past <br />practice be adopted for 2025: <br />1. Cancel the first meeting of the year scheduled for January 7, 2025. City Hall will be <br />closed from December 24, 2024 through January 1, 2025 for recognized holidays (last <br />working day before Christmas, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day) as well as the <br />negotiated Holiday Closure within several Memoranda of Understanding. <br />2. Cancel the meeting scheduled for August 5, 2025. The first Tuesday of August is <br />recognized as National Night Out, a community engagement event hosted by Police <br />Departments across the country.
