B. Council Calendar for 2013(Attachment 2 & 3) 9:31:28 PM
Ø Please let Council Staff know if you see any problems with next year’s calendar.
Councilmember Penfold asked about adopting the schedule and if modifications could be made after adoption. Ms. Bruno said yes. She said she did not know the statue regarding the adoption date but thought it needed to be prior to the first 2013 meeting. Discussion was held on holding a meeting on July 23, 2013. Ms. Bruno said it sounded like some Council Members had interest in changing dates in July. Councilmember Simonsen said he was still interested in looking at the fourth Tuesday option whenever possible due to the sizable backlog of issues that needed to be addressed. He said most months were already full but there were potentially four or five additional meetings that could be scheduled. A straw poll was taken on adding a fourth Tuesday whenever possible. A majority of the Council was in favor of listing those meetings as “tentative”. Councilmember Simonsen said Councilmember Love could also be asked to weigh in on the issue.
