STAFF REPORT <br />TO:Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br />FROM:Chris Heineman, City Administrator <br />Heidi Heller, City Clerk <br />DATE:December 16, 2020 <br />RE:Set 2021 Council Meetings & Workshops <br />ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: <br />Motion to adopt 2021 City Council Meeting and Council Workshop Schedule. <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City Council has traditionally met at 7:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each <br />month. Exceptions occur typically in November and December due to holidays. <br />All of the City Council meetings can occur on the regular second and fourth Wednesday in 2021 <br />with the exception of November. Due to this, staff recommends the same November and <br />December meeting schedule that was used in 2020. There was one regular meeting on the 3rd <br />Wednesday in November and two meetings in December on the first and third Wednesdays. The <br />December meetings are each moved up a week since the November meeting is earlier. We will <br />likely stick to this schedule for at least the next few years until there are five Wednesdays in <br />October again - when that happens we can shift the November meetings up a week and have two <br />meetings that month. <br />Staff recommends that the Council set the 2021 meeting schedule and hold to these dates unless a <br />quorum is not available. By staying with the adopted meeting schedule, this will save on <br />publication costs for date changes, and prevent scheduling problems for public hearings and other <br />users of City Hall. Staff is proposing to continue scheduling one monthly workshop with the first <br />meeting of the month. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the 2021 Workshop and Regular City Council meetings be scheduled as <br />proposed. The specific dates for the 2021 schedule shall be as follows:
