TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
SUBJECT: Changing Date for Second Regular City Council Meeting in February
DATE: November 21, 2008
There is a City Ordinance that requires that if aregularly-scheduled City Council
meeting falls on a Monday that is a Federal or City holiday, that it be scheduled for the
next day.
Monday, February 16, 2009 is Presidents Day, which is a Federal holiday but not a City
holiday.
Seven budget hearings need to be held in February and the beginning of March 2009,
with the final hearing to adopt the budget being held on March 9, 2009. In order to hold
seven budget hearings in the allotted time, it will be necessary to hold a budget hearing
on Tuesday, February 17, 2009.
I respectfully recommended an ordinance change to move the City Council meeting from
Tuesday, February 17, 2009, to Monday, February 16, 2009.
