SUBJECT
Title
Action on a Resolution Revising the Council and Authorities/Stadium Authority Regular Meeting Dates for the 2021 Calendar Year
Report
COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
On September 29, 2020 the Council set the Council and Authorities/Stadium Authority regular meeting dates for the 2021 calendar year. Pursuant to Charter Sec. 707, the City Council shall hold regular meetings at least twice each month.
DISCUSSION
It is recommended that the Council adopt a resolution revising the Council and Authorities/Stadium Authority regular meeting dates for the 2021 calendar year to reflect the cancelation of the August 31, 2021 Council and Authorities regular meeting and to set the scheduled August 24, 2021 Stadium Authority meeting as a Joint Council and Authorities and Stadium Authority regular meeting. If a Special Council meeting is needed for August 31 for catch-up on August 24th items, this date would be available to allow for no further delay.
Based on the fact that the first Council Meeting after the Council Recess is dedicated to the Priority Setting Session, staff is requesting that this meeting be held prior to the end of August to address other important City business sooner rather than later.
A copy of the Resolution and the Revised Council and Authorities/Stadium Authority Meetings 2021 is attached.
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 fiscal impact other than administrative time and expense to cancel and set the meetings.

This report has been coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office.
