REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Action on Approving the Senior Advisory Commission 2020 Schedule of Regular Meetings [Council Pillar: Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency]
Report
BACKGROUND
City Charter Section 1003 states that each of the boards and commissions of the City shall hold regular meetings as required by ordinance. City Code Section 2.120.030 states that each board or commission shall hold regular meetings at the times and on the days indicated by resolution of the City Council, which resolutions may be amended from time to time by further resolution of the Council Resolution. Resolution No. 5195 adopted by Council in 1987 states that the Senior Advisory Commission shall hold meetings on the fourth Monday of each month at 10:00 a.m. On April 9, 2019, Council adopted Resolution No. 19-8690 (Attachment 1) which established eleven (11) meetings per year, January through November, and set the 2019 Senior Advisory Commission schedule of regular meetings, start time, and regular meeting day.
DISCUSSION
At the October 28, 2019 Senior Advisory Commission meeting, the Commission recommended the proposed Senior Advisory Commission 2020 Schedule of Regular Meetings (Attachment 2), which includes eleven (11) regular meeting dates on the fourth Monday of the month at 10:00 a.m. in conformance with the existing adopted Council resolutions. The Senior Advisory Commission 2020 Schedule of Regular Meetings beginning in January 2020 is now proposed for Council consideration.
