Title
Action on Council and Authorities Concurrent and Stadium Authority Meetings for 2021 [Council Pillar: Ensure Community Engagement and Transparency]

Report
BACKGROUND
Setting the Council and Authorities Concurrent and Stadium Authority meetings in advance allows for the proper planning and agenda management.

Pursuant to Charter Section 707, the City Council shall hold regular meetings at least twice each month.

DISCUSSION
The proposed 2021 calendar of meetings includes the Charter required two Council meetings per month. It also includes Stadium Authority meetings to be held every other month, with the exception of additional meetings in March due to the Stadium Authority budget cycle and fiscal year. The calendar takes into consideration regularly scheduled significant workload (i.e., Stadium Authority and City budget development), City business conferences (i.e., League of California Cities, American Public Power Association, etc.), avoids major observed holidays and includes a four-week summer recess from July 14 - August 16.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a "project" within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional cost to the City other than administrative time.
COORDINATION
This report has been coordinated with the City Manager's Office.
