RECOMMENDED ACTION -
If the City Council concurs your action is to introduce
Ordinance No. /17--'
ITEM EXPLANATI01.
The City Manager has asked our office to prepare an
ordinance which would implement a suggestion from the Mayor
that we provide for regular Council meetings on the first
four Tuesdays of each month. The Mayor's suggestion is
based on the fact that for some time our practice has been
to have four regular meetings. The existing municipal code
section only provides for regular meetings on the first and
third Tuesdays. That necessitates us remembering to adjourn
the meeting to the next week. Technically adjourned
meetings should be limited to items which appeared on the
agenda for the regular meeting. In practice we have been
introducing new agenda items for adjourned meetings. The
Mayor feels amending the ordinance will avoid the necessity
of adjourning Council meetings, will allow for an even
spreading of the work load, and avoid criticisms of action
being taken on the "off Tuesday" meetings.
Attached is Ordinance No. /,2 '13 which amends Section
1.20.010 of the Carlsbad Municipal Code to provide that the
City Council shall hold regular meetings on the first four
Tuesdays of each month. It is not necessary to amend any
other sections of the City Council's procedural ordinance.
We will simply apply the regular agenda process on a weekly
rather than bi-weekly schedule. The Code will continue to
provide that the Council can have adjourned or workshop
meetings, where action may not be taken, as they deem
necessary. If the Council would wish to not have a
regularly scheduled meeting that can be taken care of by
announcing the Council's intentions in that regard a week in
advance. The Code already contains provisions for the City
Clerk to appear at the appointed time and place and adjourn
the meeting in the absence of the Council.
