To: Mayor and City Council
From: Scott Chadwick, City Manager
Staff Contact: Faviola Medina, City Clerk Services Manager
faviola.medina@carlsbadca.gov, 760-434-5989
Subject: Approval of the 2021 Regular City Council Meeting Calendar
Recommended Action
Adopt a resolution approving the 2021 Regular City Council Meeting Calendar.
Executive Summary
Staff is proposing a City Council meeting schedule for 2021 that includes meetings set aside for
informational presentations and community involvement.
Discussion
The City Council establishes its regular meeting schedule annually by resolution. Adopting the
calendar by resolution meets Brown Act requirements (California Government Code § 54954)
and provides the City Council the opportunity to increase notification to the public of its
scheduled regular meetings. Special meetings can still be called as needed by providing 24-hour
notice before the time of the special meeting.
For calendar year 2021, staff is proposing two regular meetings per month (except for October,
November and December) at which the City Council will consider routine agenda items such as
consent calendar items, ordinances, public hearings and departmental reports. In addition, for
all months, staff is proposing a workshop-style meeting that will be intended for the City
Council to receive informational presentations that do not require City Council action or to seek
specific feedback from the community on a certain topic.
All meetings will be scheduled to take place at 3 p.m. virtually until the declaration of local
emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is terminated, at which time all regular meetings
will be scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. at the Council Chamber located at 1200 Carlsbad
Village Drive and workshop-style meetings will take place at 5 p.m. at the Council Chamber
located at 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive.
Fiscal Analysis
There are no significant fiscal impacts that would result from adoption of the attached
resolution.
Next Steps
The city clerk services manager will distribute the approved calendar to the City Council, staff
and local newspapers. In addition, the calendar will be posted on the City’s website.
