Adoption of Updated City Council Meeting Schedule
end
Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move the Mayor and Council adopt the updated City Council meeting schedule for 2023. The updated schedule includes a Council Work Session on Monday, February 27 at 7 PM to discuss ARPA and FY24 budget initiatives, a Public Hearing on Monday, May 15 at 6:30 PM to receive public input on the proposed ARPA spending plan, and a Regular Council Meeting on Monday, June 5 at 12 PM.
end
Summary Background:
City staff have reviewed the schedule for ARPA and the FY24 budget to align dates and activities to ensure an efficient use of Council time and to allow time for the public to provide input on the proposed ARPA plan.
Additionally, when reviewing the meeting schedule, staff realized that due to the current virtual meeting environment and the City Charter requirement for the newly elected Mayor and Councilmembers to take the Oath of Office prior to their first meeting on June 5 that an additional meeting, the last of the current City Council must be scheduled for earlier in the day on June 5. During the proposed 12 PM June 5 meeting, the current City Council will resolve open business to include the adoption of the FY24 budget and the ARPA spending plan. The Oath of Office will be held at 5 PM for the newly elected officials, and the new Council will hold their first meeting at 7 PM.
Attached is an updated 2023 Council Meeting calendar and a Budget/ARPA schedule which includes a timeline of activities.
Next Steps:
Adopt revised meeting calendar.
Fiscal Impact:
None.
